Working CVS
by Dorian Meid 14 Jan '03

14 Jan '03

Hi to all, after a little time of quietness I had now found time to translate at least the OPAC to german. Now as I wanted to test it I had to recognize that the actual cvs is not working :-( Much of the development goes into different branches. I think this is not clever for futur-releases. What is the reason for the confusing branch situation? Couldn't we merge some branches to the main-trunk? What about rel-1-2? Could it be that some branches are more actual than the main trunk? Can somebody explain me what part of the development goes in what branch and why not in the main-trunk. Sorry, I'm not the cvs-geek! dorian

please have a brief look at this...
by Benedict 14 Jan '03

Hi, After installing koha via buildrelease script and then using the newly created tar file I am getting about 30% of what the turnkey system should be. Circulation doesn't show up at all, just a blank page. No pages mysql related work, either. Is this related to the flaws of the installer itself ot is it perhaps my own wierd setup? At the initial stage the installer OKs perl modules - all are in place, no complaints. Here is a random dump of what the httpd error-log files says. If anyone has anything to say about it please drop me at least a line, so perhaps I will resolve the problem, Thanks Benedict [Sat Jan 11 19:26:13 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /usr/local/koha/opac/htdocs/favicon.ico [Sat Jan 11 19:28:45 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: /usr/local/koha/opac/htdocs/images/background-mem.gif DBI->connect(Koha:localhost) failed: Unknown database 'Koha' at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Context.pm line 361 DBI->connect(Koha:localhost) failed: Unknown database 'Koha' at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Context.pm line 361 By the way look at this: mysql> show databases; +----------+ | Database | +----------+ | Koha | | mysql | | test | +----------+ 3 rows in set (0.01 sec) Can't call method "selectrow_array" on an undefined value at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Context.pm line 319.

how to polish the Polish translation...?
by Benedict 14 Jan '03

14 Jan '03

Hi all, I have just finished the first round of the Polish translation of Koha - a complete single library system (this is how it is called at www.oss4lib.org) Now, I am sure my work doesn't mean anything if koha is unaware of the new polish files and directories. So, can anyone tell me where I should look to enable the new language in Koha? Also, while translating the files I noticed some hard coded names, like Rachel, Foxton, different library names, dollar signs, ethnicity stuff...etc., which, in my opinion, make Koha a "proprietary" or a particular place software. Is work being done to make it a more generic tool..? I would like to install the Polish version in a small library here in Szczecin where names from NZ may appear very exotic:-) Benedict PS. To date I have not had the chance to install koha to a working state. I'll know more and will ask more specific questions after I do it. Next week I am upgrading to redhat 8.0.

an include file suggestion
by Benedict 14 Jan '03

14 Jan '03

Hi, I have a suggestion: Why don't we make the following code an include file and insert it whenever need be. While translating I noted it is a redundant code found in many many files. <TMPL_IF NAME="loggedinuser"> <p align=left>Logged in as: <TMPL_VAR NAME="loggedinuser"> [<a href=/cgi-bin/koha/mainpage.pl?logout.x=1>Log out</a>]</p> <TMPL_ELSE> <p align=left><a href=/cgi-bin/koha/opac-user.pl>Log in</a> to Koha</p> </TMPL_IF> I am not a programmer, though, so this is just a thought.

biblio term
by Benedict 14 Jan '03

14 Jan '03

Hi all, I have found the term "biblio" ambivalent in many situations. It is used as a noun, adjective . In some places it has different connotations. MARC biblios....and MARC records. In fact I think that biblios and records seem to be the same in the above set. Why don't we then agree to just one word..? But in other places....they are different. My proposal to the authors of the template files is to revise the meaning of biblio. Or.......... if I miss the point, could someone explicate the veriety of the meanings of the term, please..? It's 1 o'clock AM here in Szczecin right now and I may be wrong on this....

I give up on cvs ....
by Benedict 14 Jan '03

14 Jan '03

Hi guys, I give up on cvs system.... This is the third time I SPOOKED THE CVS TREE AT KOHA.... My setup is: redhat 7.2, ssh, cvs, cervisia. Today, using cervisia I again spoiled the cvs tree at koha ! And that happened accidentally...or maybe due to how cervisia works....? Anyhow, while in default/pl/intranet-tmpl/ dir I issued command to add both ./parameters dir and the MARC_SUBFIELDS_STRUCTURE.TMPL FILE. What happned is that the ./en directory has gotten ovewritten. I am sorry guys, I withdraw. Please take my privilages away Benedict ***************r-e-k-l-a-m-a************** Chcesz oszczędzić na kosztach obsługi bankowej ? mBIZNES - konto dla firm http://epieniadze.onet.pl/mbiznes
