South African interest in Koha
by Diane Babak 28 Aug '03

28 Aug '03

Hi Is there anyone on the list who knows about any attempts to implement the Koha system in South Africa? If so, can they possibly share contact details with me? I work in the public sector and am keen to assess whether Koha provides our library with a viable alternative as compared to some of the commercially available solutions for small, specialist libraries.

Z3950 Server, MARC::Record, how to build a record for Koha
by Joshua Ferraro 26 Aug '03

26 Aug '03

Hi everyone, I have been working on a Z3950 server for Koha and I am finally at the point where the server works, and I need some help refining the records that I am generating (eventually I will build in support for multiple formats; but for now I would be pretty excited if I could get it to generate "good" MARC) Basically, the Z3950 server uses SimpleServer, which has a fetch handler subroutine to fetch one record(the present handler will call fetch_handler as often as necessary for the client's request). So...here is a snipit of code from my script where I attempt to generate a MARC record. When I run the resulting string from this code through Paul's dumpmarc.pl it complains about the leader. MARC::Record experts: any ideas, suggestions as to how to set the leader? Any other suggestions? (BTW: this is my first ever Perl script, so please don't laugh too hard:)) Thanks, Joshua sub fetch_handler { my ($args) = @_; my $offset = $args->{OFFSET}; $offset -= 1; ## because $args->{OFFSET} 1 = record #1 chomp (my $bibid = $bib_list[$offset]); ## Not sure about this my $dbh = C4::Context->dbh; my $sql_query = "SELECT tag, subfieldcode, subfieldvalue FROM marc_subfi eld_table where bibid=?"; my $sth_get = $dbh->prepare("$sql_query"); $sth_get->execute($bibid); ## Build the record: my $rec = MARC::Record->new(); while (my @data=$sth_get->fetchrow_array) { my $tag = $data[0]; my $subfieldcode = $data[1]; my $subfieldvalue = $data[2]; my $field = MARC::Field->new( $tag,'','', $subfieldcode => $subfieldvalu e, ); $rec->append_fields($field); ## build the marc string and put into $record my $record = $rec->as_usmarc(); $args->{RECORD} = $record; }

opac-user.pl
by Owen Leonard 23 Aug '03

23 Aug '03

In opac-user.pl, in the default template, there's a column marked 'Current Loan', with values 'yes' or 'no' (<TMPL_IF NAME="status">) What does that mean? In the vanilla template for the same file, there's this block of markup: <TMPL_IF NAME="renewable"> <A HREF='/cgi-bin/koha/opac-renew.pl?from=opac_user&item=<TMPL_VAR NAME="itemnumber">&bornum=<TMPL_VAR NAME="borrowernumber">' class="padded">Renew</A> <TMPL_ELSE> Not renewable </TMPL_IF> ...but this always returns 'Not renewable'. What condition needs to be met for it to be renewable? Or is something not working? -- Owen ---- Nelsonville Public Library Koha 2.0.0-pre2-R2

When David set out on this project, we sat down and had a good irc session with him. If anyone is in a position to help him test this (and look at how we might be able to use it in Koha), that'd be great. thanks, -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 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2003 11:07:54 -0500 From: "Christensen, David A.

The module implements the 20 ISO 10161 (Interlibrary Loan) message classes (ILL-Request, Answer, etc), plus the hundred or so types that make up those classes. There is a test suite. I'm currently writing the POD documentation, but not all of it is finished yet.... And there are a handful of test/example programs. If all this works well - and I resolve a few other issues - then it should be relatively easy to build an interlibrary loan management system by hooking to a back-end database and some front-end GUI (perhaps Perl/Tk?).
