CALL for HELP (french => english) translation
by Paul POULAIN 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

Hi, I've written a 15 pages OpenOffice document that describes Koha 2.2 (all features : old and new ones). It's in french. So if someone volunteers to translate it english or any other language, feel free to ask. Note it's NOT a user manual. It's a "should I become a user ?" manual ;-) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Text messaging
by Owen Leonard 20 Oct '04

20 Oct '04

I see that the 'textmessaging' field lin the borrowers table is now being used to store personal messages which will appear in the OPAC when a user logs in. This is new, right? Was the textmessaging field used for something different in the past? -- Owen ---- Web Developer Nelsonville Public Library http://www.athenscounty.lib.oh.us

Re: [Koha-devel] Koha & UNICODE
by Owen Leonard 19 Oct '04

> > * rewrite all templates in utf > > This much is straightforward: iconv could do much of the > legwork, as could html tidy. What would specifically be involved in rewriting the templates? -- changing the encoding in the document head (adding an xml prologue would be the most correct way of doing this, but this causes display problems in Internet Explorer. The recommended method at present is to use <meta http-equiv="Content- Type"...>) -- altering the encoding of some characters in the templates? I wonder if this affects the English templates? What else? If you were using tidy to clean up templates, you'd have to configure it to only alter the character encoding, and not touch the document structure, right? -- Owen

Koha 2.1.3 has been released
by Paul POULAIN 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

Hello, This is the 4nd UNSTABLE VERSION of the future Koha 2.2. Please install this version only if you want to test and give some help to the team that develops this software. Use it on a production machine only if you know what you are doing WARNING : * This version is ONLY available in ENGLISH. biblio frameworks are only available in UNIMARC - french. * This version is tested only with mozilla. Should work (partially) with IE. * Any 2.1.0 install must be uninstalled before installing 2.1.3 No update is provided for 2.1.0. INSTALLATION * Download the package * tar xvfz koha-version.tar.gz * cd koha-version * ./installer.pl * Follow the instructions UPGRADE from previous 2.0.0preX or RCx version * Download the package * tar xvfz koha-version.tar.gz * cd koha-version * ./koha.upgrade * Follow the instructions UPGRADE from previous 1.2.x version : UPGRADE TO A 2.0.0 version before upgrading to 2.1.3 This will be mandatory for the 2.2 official release. UPDATE from a 2.1.x version is NOT AVAILABLE. Don't install 2.1.3 on a 2.1.x test database. A lot of DB changes have been done since 2.1.x & could not be handled by the DB updater. ============ WHAT'S NEW ============ * A lot of bugfixes. The list is too long to be done. * adding possibility to order orders by publisher and/or budget/publisher * adding search history feature in orders * adding minor features to barcode generator : - possibility to print continuous barcodes numbers, but not from items - possibility to replace the title/author by a manually typed text under the barcode itself. * The borrowernote field is shown on issue and transfer * The textmessaging field appears in OPAC when the user logs in * When a field is repeated, the new field is now created after the existing one * a plugin has been added for UNIMARC for 210c (editor) and 225a (collection) - create a authority category called "EDITORS" - set : 200$a => ISBN 200$b => editor 200$c => (repeatable) collection. Then enter, for example : $a 23 $b Hachette Litterature $c collection1|collection2|collection3 map your "editor" field to plugin 210c, your "collection" field to plugin 225a Once you arrive on the editor field, if the beginning of the ISBN exists, the editor is automatically found. Once you arrive on collection field, click on ... you can choose in the collection list. The 210c / 225a comes from the UNIMARC editor/collection field, but should work as well with MARC21. =========== WHAT'S NEXT =========== This version is quite stable. It is installed successfully at Ecole des Mines de Nantes, in France. Some work must still be done on install & update procedures anyway. =========== ROADMAP : =========== The roadmap for Koha 2.2 is available here : http://www.saas.nsw.edu.au/koha_wiki/index.php?page=KohaRoadmap -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Problem with Bulk Import for Koha 1.23
by Rachel Hamilton-Williams 18 Oct '04

18 Oct '04

Hi Chris et al A problem today with bulk importing into 1.23 which I thought you might have a soloution to... ---- koha 123 when I bulk import I get one item count The script does not go into the full record ie it only picks up the first 852 locqal holding tag if I run make a mark record and keep running the the bulimport all the 852 are picked up in other words if I have 5 copies I need to run bulkimport 5 times the first will be seen but the other 4 update to where the number of copies should be the error is a skipping error line 508 in bulkimport -- I'm assuming we must have had to deal with this before? OR have we not used bulkimport when there are multiple copies?

wiki spam attack
by MJ Ray 18 Oct '04

18 Oct '04

I've just despammed a load of pages in the wiki. iprism.cox-sd.net was the attacking hostname. The WikiMaster may wish to remove the revisions entirely to further reduce the spammer's effect, but I didn't find the email address on the wiki, so I'm emailing this list. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and not of any group I know Creative copyleft computing - http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ Speaking at ESF on Sat 16 Oct - http://www.affs.org.uk/

Search and report discrepancies
by Owen Leonard 13 Oct '04

13 Oct '04

I'm poking around a newly updated-from-CVS installation of Koha 2.2, and I tried the 'View catalogue group by itemtypes' report. It listed 481 items with the category 'Juvenile fiction' at my branch. Then I went to search the catalogue in the Intranet and specified only item type 'Juvenile fiction' and branch 'Chauncey' with no other search terms and the result count was 490. Shouldn't these numbers be the same? Some of the item types that showed up in the report didn't even return any results from a search, so it's obviously not just overcounting. Why the difference? -- Owen P.S. I was comparing the searches because I thought it would be nice to link directly from the report to a search by each item type so people viewing the report could then jump to a catalogue listing of those items.

I doubt Tidy would be able to pick apart a complex template like circulation.tmpl. I don't have any experience configuring Tidy, though. -- Owen
