#10:24:15berickfrom yesterday's discussion of creating templates for vendor order record data.. does this UI make sense? http://acq.open-ils.org/oils/acq/provider/view/4 (click on Order Record Format)
#10:24:54berickthere is a user-friendly component that allows you to put marc tag/subfield combos, but raw xpath is also supported
#10:25:34miker_ waits for acq to gimme data
#10:25:54berickheh, that first dojo fetch can be painful
#10:26:54miker_yeah, that looks good ... all the fields will become editable, I guess?
#10:27:04miker_well, other than ID
#10:27:21bericksure, they can be.
#10:27:31bericki'm adding a delete button now for batch delete
#10:27:43berickso that it's at least usable as-is
#10:27:49miker_a "delete selected"?
#10:27:52berickyeah
#10:27:56miker_cool
#10:28:56miker_hrm... a classification nit ... should providers get their own section under Acquisitions? that doesn't seem quite right under Manage Funds
#10:29:17berickreally, the whole menu setup is just wrong right now
#10:29:44berickapart for coming up with a better menu widget, i need to solicit input on where everything should really live in the menu
#10:30:13berickthe provider stuff seems more like a admin or local configuration item..
#10:30:34miker_yeah ... something
#10:32:36miker_hrm... no source on search results ... and no actual harry potter books
#10:33:29bericki'm getting harry potter results when i search the EG catalog
#10:33:45miker_I searched both eg and loc
#10:34:04berickah, probably a bug in the new search code
#10:34:08miker_but ... I can't tell where the results come from
#10:34:45berickyeah, need to poke david about putting a source column in the PL display
#10:35:11miker_yay, we can blame djf for something! ;)
#10:35:18berickheh
#10:35:39miker_man ... lots of "waiting for acq.op.."
#10:36:01berickwhat's that?
#10:36:10miker_just loading pages
#10:36:12berickahh
#10:36:16miker_the status bar in ffx
#10:36:47miker_so the MARC file upload works?
#10:36:59berickthat's the issue with mod_python/pylons/something not talking to opensrf properly. still wrapping that bug up
#10:37:01miker_(another "waiting" ...)
#10:37:12miker_ahh.. ok
#10:37:43berickyeah, MARC upload works on basic records. i'm about to start testing with my new vendor profile
#10:37:47berickand some real data
#10:37:55miker_did you see my vandelay commits? I'll be tossing the uploaded marc into memcache ;)
#10:38:04miker_after base64 encoding it
#10:38:15miker_so ... that could be interesting ;)
#10:38:18berickheh
#10:38:24bericki wonder what the practical size limit for that is
#10:38:57miker_well, the slab allocator will do any power-of-2, I think ... up to the memory restriction
#10:39:27miker_but you wouldn't want to use this for something more than, say, 1000 records anyway
#10:39:48miker_for 100k records, the command line will always be king, IMO
#10:40:35miker_and 1000 records would be about 5-10 MB
#10:41:13berickthat's not bad
#10:43:14miker_yeah

#11:44:37dbsberick++
#11:45:21dbsyou might want to make the XPath view optional, or at least push it to the right - or else you'll scare the bejeezus out of joe acquisitions person
#11:45:55dbsbut holy moly you guys are making good stuff happen
#11:46:15berickdbs: hah, my thought exactly (re:xpath)
#11:46:44bericki'll rearrange those columns.. and it does seem like it needs some explanation of some sort to reduce the fear factor
#11:49:49dbsyeah - and when creating an order record field, we need some way of showing that you can either enter a field/subfield combo, or go whole-hog xpath
#11:50:07berickyeah
#11:50:10dbsmaybe radio-button beside the grouped fields, defaulting to field/subfield, with xpath greyed out?
#11:50:56dbsor "tag/subfifle" :)
#11:51:10berickheh
#11:51:27berickyeah, radio button.. definitely greying-out where appropriate
#11:54:07denials has joined #OpenILS-Evergreen
#12:08:52miker_berick: would you mind making your xpath parsing regexp fully anchored?
#12:09:13miker_only the very simplest tag+subfield should be parsed, IMO
#12:09:34miker_and, you could have it say "see xpath" when something more complex is going on
#12:10:43miker_and we can do multi-subfield ones later, via contains() (see the vandelay attr defs on dev for what I mean)
#12:12:47berickyeah, what's there is the most basic possible implementation
#12:12:58bericki'll anchor it...

#12:43:15EGUEST296Would someone please tell me how I can add a book? Is there some way I can manually enter in the title, auther, etc?
#12:49:04dbsEGUEST296: Sure - open the staff client, choose cataloging, and choose Create a MARC record
#12:49:14dbsEGUEST296: are you familiar with MARC?
#12:52:17EGUEST296no
#12:56:50phase_bb has joined #openils-evergreen
#12:57:49dbsEGUEST296: okay - then your easiest option might be to use "Import MARC Record", which will fill in all the fields for you
#12:58:12dbsCan you open that window in the staff client?
#12:58:47dbsJust keep the default settings when it opens, and type in, say, the author's last name in the author field and a few words from the title in the title field
#13:01:32EGUEST296There is no "Import MARC Record" in the staff client (that I can see)
#13:04:28dbsEGUEST296: sorry, working from memory - let me bring it up
#13:05:23Karen__Eguest: Cataloging > Import Record from Z39.50.
#13:05:44dbsthanks Karen__!
#13:06:16Karen__Or if you don't want a real Marc record, but just want to try creating one, the title goes is 245 and the author goes in 100.
#13:12:21phase_bbCould make a slim template for that too

#15:53:39dbs_mobhave a good night!
#15:54:37SlazerWhat about:
#15:54:37Slazer<label id="record_query_label" value="staff.cat.record_buckets_overlay.record_query_label;"
#15:54:37SlazerShould that be .label or .value or is that fine like that?
#15:56:58dbs_mobi would either append .value there or leave it as is
#15:57:22dbs_mobi;ll explain via email (on cellphone atm)
#15:57:32Slazerok
#15:57:40SlazerSee ya tomorrow.
