Hi, we are using the CSS templates and as we know they don't work very well with Internet Explorer. Our target audience works mostly under IE (about 98%). Are there any updated templates more suitable for IE? Thanks Ernesto.

about classification and callnumber (for "tungsten")
by Paul POULAIN 06 Dec '04

06 Dec '04

Hello all, hi tungsten, I've read your irc question. Something has to be explained... Callnumber explains where the item is located physically Classification helps finding books on a topic/subject. In most libraries, the callnumber is a classification (books are ordered by Dewey, or by LC...) But in some, the callnumber has nothing to do with the classification. So, in Koha, callnumber and classification are different things : * the callnumber is attached to ITEMS. * the classification is attached to BIBLIO. a systempref parameters tells Koha to define automatically callnumber from a biblio field : itemcallnumber. I realize I've forgotten it in installer... I fix this immediatly. You can add it manually in your systempreferences, just add a "itemcallnumber" entry, with a value of FieldSubfield (676a -dewey in UNIMARC-, 680a -Loc in UNIMARC, or any other bibio field/subfield) NOTE : this works for manually added biblios only. For biblios migrated with bulkmarcimport, you must copy the callnumber yourself (in bulkmarcimport.pl) Is it clear ? -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Re: [Koha-devel] OPAC reserve dates

>>>For as long as I've been working with Koha the default OPAC >>>theme has had a form for specifying beginning and ending dates >>>for reserves. I don't think that has ever served any purpose. > Owen, do you mean that beginning or ending dates are never used in the > code? I recall seeing those variables addressed somewhere, but I don't > remember where (nor in what version). What I know is that there is nowhere in the reserves table for these values. That tells me the form is useless. I just wish I knew why it was put there in the first place! > It seems to me that these dates would be useful.

I agree absolutely, and I even filed a bug about this the last time I got worked up about this issue: http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=607 ...But that's an enhancement bug, and we all know what happens to those ;) -- Owen

Need Help reseting port in KOHA
by Bruffey, Mark 03 Dec '04

03 Dec '04

I need help getting apache and koha to talk to each other. It was working just fine, but a tech made a port adjustment on the Linux box while attempting to get a connection through firewall to function. Now at port 80 on the KOHA box I just get the default apache page and port 8080 is refused altogether. Can someone indicate the files I need to adjust and/or point me to a brief explanation of how to correct this problem? Thanks, Mark L.
