[ANN/REQ] Ruby interface to Tellico

Heyho.
I am working on a Ruby library for accessing Tellico databases and I
was simply wondering if there's any interest from the users or the
developers in that project.

I'm not really a Tellico user myself, but I have to work with some of
those databases recently, so I wanted to write a basic set of tools for
manipulating the DB from the command line. Out of that idea a general
library is emerging, which is not yet finished but once it is it will
provide full support for all features, both readingly and writingly.

Just mail me back (prefered to the list) with feedback or whatever you
have to say :)

printable version of user guide


Robby, is there a printable copy of the User Guide someplace?  I haven't
found one, but have maybe not been looking in the right place.  Thanks.

I'm flattered you might want a printed copy! :)

I don't know of a printable copy that exists. There are some tools for 
converting docbook files to pdf but I've never tried them.

Actually, once I move Tellico into KDE extragear, the manual might show up 
on http://docs.kde.org as a pdf file. I'm not sure how they generate those, 
but they look pretty good.

Looking through the Debian repositories, I see  'docbook-utils' as one 
option.  Also for Latex users,  dblatex.  

Also 'docbook2odf'  gets one an Open Office document and of course the 
ooo.org word processor formats a .pdf file.

These may not be as good as Adobe,  but the price is right.  Just in case 
someone wants to take a crack at it.

Cheerio

Adding a new data source

Hello,

I would like to add the Book Database from the Ministry of Culture of
Spain ( http://www.mcu.es/webISBN/tituloSimpleFilter.do?cache=init&prev_layout=busquedaisbn&layout=busquedaisbn&language=en
) as a new source. It contains more than 900,000 references by ISBN
(every book published in Spanish since 1972).

AFAIK this database does not use any standard protocol, so I would
need to make HTTP POSTS and GETS and parse HTML. I have seen fetchers
should inherit from Tellico::Fetcher::Fetch and implement a few
methods. I was wondering if there are any special rules or advices I
should follow.

That's all true, however..

You're in luck. That one is already available. If you open up the config 
dialog Data Source->New, it should be available in there.

It's not working exactly for the kde4 version yet...

overwrite current url logic

This patch (introduced in r955583) has the result that Tellico ask for confirmation after every save - and this is annoying imo.
(I cant see how the write is forced by TellicoImporter mentioned in the new comment.)

Simply reverting it requires to add back the knowledge of class Kernel, which breaks the intent of the patch.
Any opinion how to overcome this behavior? Eventually add GUI::Proxy::URL() ??

Fix linking in debian unstable

I had to apply this one liner to be able to build tellico on debian unstable with KDE4.2.2. Without this libsolid.so is not linked.
(For some reason linkink works without this on ubuntu jaunty .....)
