Hi I'm really not the best person to answer these questions but I'll do my best - and if you take a look at the manual for 1.2 then you should find a fair bit of information there. Basically the big change in 2.0 is that MARC has been added - all the other bits of Koha should be about the same. > madam, > we are not clear with all entries in system parameters such as > fine type(in user category)etc.... Do you wish to use fines? I am not sure that there is a proper setup page for fines, although there is a fine table, and koha does know about fines. When you set up a new sort of user, you can say if they get fines or not - but looking at the administration options I think you might need to set your types of fines manually. Fines for HLT are a calculation based on borrower type x book type x length of time overdue I'm pretty sure that there isn't a simple way to setup fines, but I'm ccing this to the developer list in case I'm wrong. > we also wanted to know if the s/w provide an automatic fine calculation > mechanism rather than doing it manually. Yes - if the correct variables are entered into the fine table. FOR EXAMPLE Borrower type = child Fine value = $1 Interval = 7 days So they would get charged a fine of $1 for each 7 day period that they have a book overdue - so after 14 days they would have a fine of $2 OR if you charge a daily rate Borrower type = child Fine value = $.10 Interval = 1 days So after 14 days the fine would be $1.40 > and how do you change the password settings for the administrator > interface(using httpd authentication)??? Yes I think so > could you help????Hope you don't mind us frequently asking questions... I'm not the best person to answer some of these questions - I'm not a technical person - but they are good questions.

Major problem with import through z3950
by Benedykt P. Barszcz 08 Mar '04

08 Mar '04

Hi, I have encountered a major problem at importing a record after it has been searched via z3950. Namely, the characters for Polish diacritical signs are not properly displayed and cannot be stored like that. I would like someone to guide me through this and help. Here ire the specifics on the server i query: DATABASE - Z39.50 ACCESS TO BNPOL DATABASE The National Library in Warsaw, Poland (April 9th, 2003) 1 > Code for database: INNOPAC 2 > Display name for database: Z39.50 ACCESS TO BNPOL DATABASE 3 > IP address of server: 193.59.172.100 4 > Port: 210 5 > Authentication/Password: NOT REQUIRED 6 > Character Set: win1250 (ISO 6937/2) 7 > Enable SCAN Facility?

How am I supposed to work? Benedict

confirmation of z3950 search & import working
by Benedykt P. Barszcz 08 Mar '04

08 Mar '04

Hi group, I can now confirm that z3950 search & import IS working here on my setup of: Fedora Core 1 (perl and mysql version not modified from the distro version) Tt then sounds very promissing for the upcoming 2.0 (clear) version. But two questions arise: 1. Does admin (or whoever performs cataloging) need to manually export PERL5LIB and KOHA_CONF env variables as root? Can't a setup script do it for a site (installation of koha?) 2. In help pane it says that once a record is found in the reservoir (breeding farm) while a search on a title or isbn is performed, and if an item (real copy) is added to koha system then that biblio will also be removed from the reservoir ...? It doesn't happen here on my system. A second search on same isbn or title continues to find a biblio in the reservoir. Any suggestions? Benedict

Hi, Is it going to be used by any script. If not, could we move it into the attic, so it doesn't produce unnecessary translation strings? thanks for information on that Benedict

Re: [Koha-devel] images and numbers
by Owen Leonard 06 Mar '04

06 Mar '04

> Hi group, > I need to know whether images and numbers from > default/en directory > should be copied (except those that need > translation) into default/pl > directory? The way the templates are set up, it does seem best to duplicate the images in your default/pl directory. Image references usually look like this: <img src="/images/holder.gif" width="150" height="42" alt="" hspace="0" vspace="0"> When the 'themelang' variable gets evaluated, it turns into something like this: /intranet-tmpl/default/en/ ...which obviously uses both the theme and the language to determine where the image resides. You'd have to hard-code the path to the default/en image directory if you wanted to re-use those images. Many of the images in the default/en directory contain bits of English, so in most cases you would want to re-do them in your native language. -- Owen

> I have never seen issues-top.inc displayed in my > installation. Looks like it is included at the top of reports.tmpl and is referenced in Output.pm, although I'm not sure that's relevant. Maybe someone else can take a look: 355 sub startmenu($) { 356 # edit the paths in here 357 my ($type)=shift; 358 if ($type eq 'issue') { 359 open (FILE,"$path/issues-top.inc") || die "could not find : $path/issues-top.inc"; 360 } -- Owen
