general irc meeting
by Pat Eyler 08 Apr '03

08 Apr '03

Since it's been almost a year since our last series of IRC meetings about Koha, it's about time to kick off the stretch into a 2.0.0 release with a couple of meetings to let everyone know how things stand. We'd like to break things into two meetings just to keep them managable. Here's the plan: 8 April 2003 1200 PST (GMT-7) Paul state of 2.0 Nick state of Docs Pat state of project meet and greet Ingrid Q & A for management team 9 April 2003 1200 PST (GMT-7) A town hall meeting (time to toss out ideas, get to know people better, introduce Koha sub-projects, etc.) Pat Eyler Kaitiaki/manager migrant Linux sys admin the Koha project ruby, shell, and perl geek http://www.koha.org http://pate.eylerfamily.org

an interesting idea
by Pat Eyler 01 Apr '03

01 Apr '03

(see http://www.perl.com/lpt/a/2002/10/22/phrasebook.html http://use.perl.org/~gnat/journal/11285 http://use.perl.org/~djberg96/journal/11291 for more info) I just ran across a set of articles that triggered some thinking for me. The basic idea is that we could create a phrasebook of (templated) SQL queries external to the normal modules and scripts. Whenever we need to use a specific query we can slurp it out of the phrasebook, fill in the variables, and run it. I think this might win in two ways: 1) it will be easier to maintain/improve the SQL queries if they're not strewn about in the code 2) we can work at translating the queries into other (nonMySQL) dialects of SQL if we ever decide to support them. The same tool *might* also help us maintain translations internal to our scripts (as opposed to things we've already used HTML::Template for). There might be stickiness in a couple of areas too. The biggest one that I see is that we'll have to be very careful not to break the API presented by a query (i.e., what variables it requires, what data it passes back) -- This is an excellent place for unit tests to help us. any other thoughts? -pate Pat Eyler Kaitiaki/manager migrant Linux sys admin the Koha project ruby, shell, and perl geek http://www.koha.org http://pate.eylerfamily.org

Internal Server Error on 1.90
by Ingrid Lacis 01 Apr '03

01 Apr '03

I don't know if this is a bug or an error on our part. In version 1.90, librarian interface, I do a search (Advanced Search) and get a list of books returned to me. /cgi-bin/koha/search.pl I click on the title and I get: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. The error log says: Tag " " is not a valid tag. at /usr/local/share/perl/5.6.1/MARC/Record.pm line 535 [Fri Mar 28 10:51:48 2003] [error] [client 192.168.0.123] Premature end of script headers: /usr/local/koha-unstable/intranet/cgi-bin/MARCdetail.pl Thanks, Ingrid _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.

[Bug 245] New: No mechanism provided for changing the Locations
by bugzilla-daemon＠wilbur.katipo.co.nz 29 Mar '03

29 Mar '03

http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=245 Summary: No mechanism provided for changing the Locations Product: Koha Version: CVS Platform: PC Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Parameters AssignedTo: paul.poulain(a)free.fr ReportedBy: mwhansen(a)hmc.edu QAContact: koha-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net There should be some sort of way for the user to change the Locations presented at the memberentry page. This would most likely consist of add a table to the database and providing some page under system parameters / koha admin to allow them to add/edit/delete locations. I am not sure how we would deal with the deletion of locations that members are already assigned to, but it is an issue we probably need to deal with. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.

The browser does not know how to handle the <TMPL> tags and so it ignores them -- what you end up with is the HTML in both the <TMPL_IF> and and in the <TMPL_ELSE> tag. This will be resolved when stats.pl gets templated. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.
