All it has to do is set a "templates" variable in the systempreferences table where the value is the name of the preferred template. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.

maybe a bug, or something i don't understand ?
by paul POULAIN 05 Sep '02

05 Sep '02

Probably a question for a katipan (Finlay ?) ! I' testing always deeply my MARC version, and i find something strange in normal acquisition system. Let me explain : * you create a new basket, with a new biblio => you call newbiblio.pl, you validate, and it creates a old-DB biblio, a old-DB biblioitem, as well as MARC-DB data. * you realise you made something wrong, so you want to modify : you search for supplier, you click on the basket, and you click on the biblio again to modify it. When you validate your modifs, some of them are not recorded : ISBN, and branches, at least. Fortunately, all the fields modified are in biblio table and all fields unmodified are in biblioitem table... Elementary, my dear Watson... So i had a look to the perl code, and founded only "newbiblioitem" calls and no "modbiblioitem" in addorder.pl. That's why i think it's a bug. It's a problem for me, as i can't update MARC record ;-\\\ Please confirm it's a bug, and if yes, i'll correct it. -- Paul

new developers
by Pat Eyler 05 Sep '02

05 Sep '02

In the last couple of days, I've added three more developers to the project at sourceforge: Dorian Meid -- a german programmer and translator, looking to work on templating Ron Wickersham -- working with CalAcademy and looking to do testing and development Mike Hansen -- a student down at Harvey Mudd ... also working on templating We also have three people coming in from Nelsonville Public Library: Joshua Ferraro Owen Leonard Stephen Hedges They've got sone perl, html, and other skills and have asked about projects to start out on. Welcome to the project. Feel free to introduce yourselves in more detail (or to point out glaring errors in the above).

Introduction
by J. Kenneth Riviere 04 Sep '02

04 Sep '02

Seeing the request for people to introduce themselves, I thought I'd de-lurk. I've only just joined the list and haven't really gotten started with Koha, but I'm interested in learning. I've been a programmer and systems analyst for more than 20 years. I started my career working at Georgia Tech in the Library. We developed our own MARC bibliographic record processing software in COBOL on a CDC Cyber computer using the NOS operating system which used a 6 bit character set. That was quite a challenge to deal with the variable length fields and maintain the international characters in the bibliographic records. We had to read and interpret 8 bit characters as binary values from 9-track tapes mailed from OCLC to update our bibliographic data which was all stored on 9-track tapes (there simply wasn't enough disk space to hold the entire catalog except once a year during Christmas break we'd take over the entire campus computer in order to produce our micro-fiche catalog). We worked with Sirsi to develop their first implementation of a library circulation system. This was done on a TI-990 running TI's DX-10 operating system and was again written in COBOL. It used CP/M micros as intelligent workstations. This was eventually rewritten for Ultrix in C, but the C code was proprietary to Sirsi so I never worked with that directly. We were the first installation of Sirsi's package. We eventually added a BRS search system running on an IBM mainframe under MVS and CICS. When budget cuts led to me being laid off I tried to get work in other libraries, but without an MLS I couldn't even get an interview, despite my years of Library Automation experience. I eventually spent most of the next 10 years working with Informix on Unix platforms writing code in Informix's 4GL language (a procedural wrapper for SQL), perl, C, C++, and more recently doing some web work using PHP and MySQL. My current company looks to be getting ready to go belly up. I've been thinking of going back for that MLS and trying to get back into the library systems market. I just discovered the Koha package and it sounds like an exciting endeavor. It occurs to me that if there are any libraries in the southeast USA that are considering Koha then I might be able to get some consulting work or even a Systems Librarian job in such a setting. I don't know how much help I'll be since I'll be working on my own time and am not yet familiar with the system, but I'll probably continue to lurk for awhile and see what I can pick up. In the meantime I'll boot up my Linux box and see about getting Koha installed so that I can see what it can do. -JoKeR (J. Kenneth Riviere)
