Document revision numbering system
by Stephen Hedges 05 Nov '04

05 Nov '04

Hi all - As I am working on moving Koha docs to XML, I would like to start using a uniform system of numbering document revisions. I noticed while working on converting the SGML version of Nick Rosasco's manual that he had numbered the first version as "0.1." So what should I now use for the new XML revision? "0.2" obviously, but what would then justify moving to version 1.0? A google search didn't produce any results that were really helpful. I did see that Gnome documentation is supposed to be numbered according to the version of Gnome that is current. In other words, if a document is produced when Gnome version 1.x is the most current, then that document version starts with "1" and so forth. (For example, the first version of a document produced when Gnome 2.x is the most current would be version 2.0, the next revision would be 2.1, etc., until Gnome version 3.0 is released.) I suppose we could do something similar for Koha. That would change Nick's version 0.1 to 1.0, and the XML version to 1.1, while Brooke's Newbie Guide would be version 2.0 right from the start -- which seems a little confusing to me. Does anybody have any suggestions and/or strong feelings about a document revision numbering system? -- Stephen Hedges Skemotah Solutions, USA www.skemotah.com -- shedges(a)skemotah.com

Does anyone know the status of opac-renew.pl? Is that something old that doesn't work anymore? Or should it be expected to work? -- Owen ---- Web Developer Nelsonville Public Library http://www.athenscounty.lib.oh.us

koha-2.0.2beta0
by MJ Ray 30 Oct '04

30 Oct '04

You can now get the untested 2.0.2beta0 from the src.tar.gz link on http://www.mjr.dsl.pipex.com/ or by following the tla tag instructions given in the tutorial (with the mjr(a)dsl.pipex.com--koha2/koha--release2--0.2 replacing the webmaster@affs stuff). If you've been following the 2.0.1 archive, this corresponds to patch-8 in that. If you have time and a 2.0.1 server you don't mind damaging, I'd appreciate any beta-testing and bug reports, either on bugs.koha.org or by email. When I've upgraded my server and kicked it around a little, I'll upload 2.0.2release to sourceforge, which will be a faster download. Please only grab 2.0.2beta0 if you really are a beta-tester. Changes since release 2.0.1 follow: 2004-10-29 19:52:14 GMT MJ Ray <mjr(a)dsl.pipex.com> patch-8 Summary: small bugfixes Revision: koha--release2--0.1--patch-8 C4::Biblio bugfix from Paul Poulain: drop empty fields, but NOT fields containing 0 Remove spanish language option: will be readded when translators answer email README: add comment about fines2.pl Fix for bug 789: shedges: patch -F 3 modules/C4/Search.pm BorrSearchPatch.txt modified files: INSTALL Install.pm modules/C4/Biblio.pm modules/C4/Search.pm 2004-08-27 23:37:02 GMT MJ Ray <mjr(a)dsl.pipex.com> patch-7 Summary: Add release docs Revision: koha--release2--0.1--patch-7 2.0.1 release documentation -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and not of any group I know Creative copyleft computing - http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ Will HLF fund tree-killings? http://www.thewalks.co.uk/

It looks like the whole function has been reworked in the latest version. opac-new.pl doesn't even exist anymore. Maybe Paul can suggest how to handle the bug in 2.0. -- Owen

Koha Admin Screens
by Rachel Hamilton-Williams 29 Oct '04

29 Oct '04

Hi all, I was setting up a quick demo Koha today for someone and it got me thinking about a better way to layout the admin screens. http://katipo.co.nz/gallery/koha-admin Are some pictures. My general feeling was that there are only a few things you need to set if you're just wanting to put in a few books and see what it does (hence the short list of required settings) But that then the other preferences should be grouped into the area they relate to perhaps? I did think that they could be grouped into "things to do if you've got a big library" and things to do if you don't - but that seemed a bit harder to decide on. Anyway let me know if it appeals - we might give it a try in the Katipo templates first. PLUS are there actually more admin parameters than I've got here.... And are any of them MARC/NON MARC specific - I'd particularly like to not have people setting variables that they don't have to.

(minor) problem with translator tool
by Paul POULAIN 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

Hello all, I've translated the french OPAC with the misc/translator/tmpl_process3.pl script. Works fine EXCEPT for strings with a point (.) Could anyone (Ambrose ?) explain what it is due to ? I don't understand the tmplTokenizer.pm at all, and I suspect it's an escape problem. If you want to check with 2.1.3 and french, look at opac-search.tmpl, the sentences in the "hint" box are not translated, all the rest is. Of course, the strings are translated in the .po file ! -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Paul, can you tell us about how the 'suggestions' link is supposed to work in the new intranet MARC search? What's the idea behind that? Thanks, Owen ---- Web Developer Nelsonville Public Library http://www.athenscounty.lib.oh.us
