Stephen sent me an RSS 2.0-compliant example yesterday off-list, and I'll be adding the version 2.0 template to CVS today. I'll try yours for the 1.0 version (although I'm not convinced there's much advantage to 1.0 over 2.0) > I look forward to hearing about RSS 1.0 support :-) I figured that bargain would appeal to you.

Hi, The irc logger has disappeared since some weeks. It has been given a re-birth in july, but lasted not long... This is probably due to the fact that steve has left the project (even if this has not been announced by steve, this is a reality) I was wondering if we should not have a copy of the wiki somewhere else, because if the hoster disappear, this will be a *real* pain. Hoster (roger ?), are u here ?. have you something to say about my "anxiousness" ;-) ? -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Possible to create/import separate records for multiple items with same ISBN?
by Bruffey, Mark 09 Aug '04

09 Aug '04

I am ready to batch import our MARC21 records (35,000) into KOHA for serious testing of KOHA. I believe the proper way to batch import MARC records into KOHA is through the breeding farm. As I read the indicators for import into breeding farm, it appears that items with same ISBN will be deleted/ignored. However, we have already decided to create a MARC record for each item, in our current automation/cataloging system, as this provides certain advantages unavailable when multiple copies of the same item are cataloged together in the same record. I don't want to go into explaining all the benefits of keeping a single record for each item at this time, but I do feel those benefits are great enough to justify maintaining the collection that way. Is it possible to do this in KOHA? Thanks, Mark PS Obviously, I could use any import/export help available, and I will diligently read any documentation on this operation, should any be pointed out to me. L.

Dates in Koha's RSS
by Owen Leonard 09 Aug '04

09 Aug '04

I'm trying out Koha's RSS functions, and finding that the feed which rss.pl generates is not valid because of the format of the date: "line 13, column 40: lastBuildDate must be an RFC-822 date <lastBuildDate>Thu Aug 5 13:00:34 2004</lastBuildDate>" Here's the validator's explanation: "Invalid date. The value specified must meet the Date and Time specifications as defined by RFC822, with the exception that the year should be expressed as four digits. Solution Change the date format to comply with RFC822. Here are examples of valid RFC822 dates: <pubDate>Wed, 02 Oct 2002 08:00:00 EST</pubDate> <pubDate>Wed, 02 Oct 2002 13:00:00 GMT</pubDate> <pubDate>Wed, 02 Oct 2002 15:00:00 +0200</pubDate>" The script generates the date here: sub getDate { my $date = localtime(timelocal(localtime)); return $date; } ...which is where I assume the date formatting should take place, but it's beyond me. I assume it's not that difficult for those who know Perl. Can someone offer a suggestion? Thanks, Owen
