zebra config problem (still 0, yes, really 0 !)
by Paul POULAIN 10 Feb '06

10 Feb '06

Hello the list, This time it seems zebra work for both indexing and search. The last blocking problem was... a space in recordId: (bib1,Identifier-standard) just after the comma. Adam agreed it was a bug, and it should be solved soon. But now we are aware, we can avoid putting the space ! I've commited all what is needed to setup a working zebra DB in Unimarc (in misc/migration_tools and /zebra directories) : * collection.abs is UNIMARC specific and must be rewritten for MARC21, in marc21 directory * pdf.properties is to be copied unmodified in the marc21 directory (can also be put somewhere else) * rebuild_zebra.pl is SLOW, but 1 step reindexing tool, using ZOOM * rebuild_zebra_idx is FAST, but 2 step reindexing tool, and does not use zebra. run it, it will create all biblios XML files in /zebra/biblios directory, then zebraidx update biblios in your zebra directory * zebra.cfg is the zebra config file ;-) * test_cql2rpn.pl is a script that will query the database and show the results. Works for me, just change the query at the beginning to get answers you expect. What has to be done : * benchmarking : it seems the zebraidx update is faster than lightning (400biblios/sec : 10 000biblios in 25seconds), while ZOOM indexing is slow (something like 25biblios/second) More benchmarking could be done. * completing collection.abs for UNIMARC. I'll take care of it. * modifying Biblio.pm to use ZOOM instead of the "zebraidx through exec" running actually. I'll take care of it also. * modify the search API & tools & screens. I'll let the ball to someone else (chris ?) for this. I agree SearchMarc.pm can be dropped and replaced by something else (maybe a new-and-clean Search.pm package) -- Paul POULAIN et Henri Damien LAURENT Consultants indépendants en logiciels libres et bibliothéconomie (http://www.koha-fr.org)

Koha 3.0 update for week ending Feb 4th 2006
by Joshua Ferraro 08 Feb '06

08 Feb '06

Hi all, As you're probably aware, our code sprint for Koha 3.0 is underway. As we approach our goal, I'm going to try to keep everyone well informed on what's happening by sending a weekly 'Koha 3.0 Update' email to koha-devel. In it, I'll summarize what's been done the previous week, what's on tap for next week, as well as any news items, meeting announcements, etc. My goal is to do one of these every Saturday from now until Koha 3.0 is released. To facilitate that, I'd greatly appreciate it if everyone working on Koha 3.0 jobs (mostly paul, hdl, and chris, but others too) could summarize what has been done in the past week, and what's on tap for next week, and send those lists to me by Friday each week. Also, if you have any news items to announce, I'd be happy to include them ... send 'em my way.

(Look for the Idx: lines). Ooops, this is getting more complicated for me. MARC21 slim defines the MARCXML as <collection><record></record></collection>. The perl MARC module produces XML according to this. When you run zebraidx with a proper MARCXML you get an error saying collection.abs could not be found. So you are forced to rename marc21.abs as collection.abs by zebraidx or by ZOOM in that sense. To make things more complicated everything seems to work until you try to use the recordID feature. If your XML file omits the MARC tags below 10 then RecordID works everytime. However if you have tags below 10 out of 50k records I got 30% with bad-match error. So I am trying to eliminate whether its KOHA reproduced records doing or not. I'll post the outcome on this list. Regards, Tumer Garip

New Feature: IntranetNav
by Joshua Ferraro 05 Feb '06

05 Feb '06

Hi all, I've just committed a new syspref to rel_2_2: IntranetNav It allows you to add HTML tags in a systempref that will be included in the left-hand nav bar in the NPL templates. For instance, adding the following HTML: <li><h4>LibLime Site</h4></li> <li><a href="http://liblime.com">www.liblime.com</a></li> <li><a href="http://liblime.com/c/demos.html">liblime demos</a> <ul><li><a href="http://opac.liblime.com">Koha OPAC</a></li> <li><a href="http://koha.liblime.com">Koha Circ/Admin</a></li> <li><a href="http://selfcheck.liblime.com">Koha Self-checkout</a></li> <li><a href="http://mambo.liblime.com">Mambo Intranet</a></li> </ul></li> will look like this in the intranet: http://kohatest.liblime.com (after login: circ / liblime notice bottom left-hand nav bar.

New Feature: OpacNav
by Joshua Ferraro 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Hi all, I just committed a new feature to rel_2_2: OpacNav. It allows a library to specify HTML links on the left-hand navigation bar in Owen's NPL templates (not sure about default). To use this, simply add some HTML to OpacNav in system preferences. Here's an example: <ul> <li><a href="http://liblime.com">www.liblime.com</a></li> <li><a href="http://liblime.com/c/demos.html">LibLime Demos</a> <ul> <li><a href="/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl">Catalog Home</a></li> <li><a href="/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl">Advanced Search</a></li> <li><a href="/cgi-bin/koha/opac-user.pl">My Account</a></li> <li><a href="/cgi-bin/koha/opac-shelves.pl">My Book Lists</a></li> <li><a href="/cgi-bin/koha/opac-suggestions.pl">Purchase Suggestions</a></li> <li><a href="http://koha.liblime.com">Koha Circ/Admin</a></li></ul></li> </ul> It will look like the left-hand bar in this OPAC: http://opac.liblime.com Paul/HDL, to add this to default, simply add:  to navigation.inc (or equiv in default).

Improvements forecast in 2.2.6
by Henri-Damien LAURENT 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

hi koha-folks, We (Paul and I) are thinking about some improvements here in France on next Koha subversion. They will be on Serials management and Acquisition. We propose you them to see whether we are heading in the good direction or we are going nuts ;). Any (serious) comment on the following propositions will be welcome. :) Serials Management ------------------------------ Adding a YesNo system preference (say SerialaddItems) in order to add items on issue reception for a serials. If this syspref is set to 1 (Yes), when managing reception of an issue, a new line (under number would come out and propose to input item information such as : - barcode, - homebranch (holdingbranch would be the same), - itemcallnumber (if managed in items tab), - items.status (if items.notforloan manage in item tab), - location (if managed in items tab) (The issue number would be stored into items.notes.) Acquisitions ----------------- ATM, we have a big deal with receptions. We do not really manage a history of parcels reception. And people cannot know which book came in which parcel. We are striving to make things better. Here is what we came to : In order to manage parcels and reception, when one clicks on receive on the supplier page, one shall be provided with the parcels list ordered by datereceived descending PLUS the possibility to add create a new one. Each parcel will be clickable When clicking one will be able - to see what he received - to add lines to one parcel whenever he wants. - (Maybe) to see and manage what is still to be received from this supplier. This will in some ways make the same thing as basket management but from reception view. One can never be aware of partially received baskets.... unless user lateorders or histsearch.... but this is not so user-friendly. What can be suggested is to add a non printable column qtyreceived to basket information, with price, qty, qtyreceived and rrp bold if reception not completed. One can never see old baskets. We suggest : When clicking suppliername on order.pl, let us not edit supplier information but rather display supplier information with three buttons : - Edit Supplier Information (Easy) - View basket history (where the WHOLE history of baskets would be displayed with the same information as those displayed on current baskets in order.pl page) - View reception history (the same page as the one we suggest to add for parcel management) We are waiting for comments. Have a nice day. -- Henri-Damien LAURENT
