The reports module and ISO 2789
by Antti J. Salminen 16 Aug '04

16 Aug '04

Hi, I'm interested in what kind of functionality is planned for the stats/reports module. Will it generate yearly reports conforming to the ISO 2789 international library statistics standard which is used in some countries, at least in Finland? If that's not possible implement in the initial version, I think it would be wise to plan for it in advance when designing the system. I'd like to help in creating the module if it's possible. -Antti -- Antti J. Salminen <antti.salminen(a)vaasa.fi> Vaasa public library - regional library

by Rachel Hamilton-Williams 15 Aug '04

15 Aug '04

Hello, I've had an enquiry about a portugese version of Koha and wanted to check of there actually is one in progress? If so, is it just the OPAC being translated or the whole thing?

I think we really should change the dewey column to character data instead of number data. (The other wrong thing that happens right now is the extra zeros at the end -- 004.22 shows as 4.220000.) Would this cause problems for HLT? I know there would have to be some script clean-up, too. -- Stephen Hedges Skemotah Solutions, USA www.skemotah.com -- shedges(a)skemotah.com

Don't spend too many time on this : this will change soon. Really soon (waiting for a commit from chris) The new feature will be : the default language is still stored in systempreferences, but the user, in OPAC, can change it's language (choose it in a list box) The selected language will be stored in a cookie. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Re: [Koha-devel] Dates in Koha's RSS

> use POSIX; > # some other stuff > $date = strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ",gmtime()); Thanks. Stephen sent me an RSS 2.0-compliant example yesterday off-list, and I'll be adding the version 2.0 template to CVS today. I'll try yours for the 1.0 version (although I'm not convinced there's much advantage to 1.0 over 2.0) > I look forward to hearing about RSS 1.0 support :-) I figured that bargain would appeal to you. I wonder what I'd have to offer to get something like, say, Bug 437 done? -- Owen

wiki

Hi, The irc logger has disappeared since some weeks. It has been given a re-birth in july, but lasted not long... This is probably due to the fact that steve has left the project (even if this has not been announced by steve, this is a reality) I was wondering if we should not have a copy of the wiki somewhere else, because if the hoster disappear, this will be a *real* pain. Hoster (roger ?), are u here ?. have you something to say about my "anxiousness" ;-) ? -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Doesn't work. Just moves error to line 11, from line 10, he he. FYI, I cannot run the *.pl script from the command line, because bash complains it can't find it, even when I know good and well I'm in the correct directory. Maybe my path is messed up? Therefore, I have been running "perl blahblah.pl -file pathtofilename. Any help for you there?

Ahh. Try adding this line: use lib "usr/local/koha/intranet/modules"; just before the other "use" statements in the script. (IIRC, you need to run the script as root, too.)

Hi Stephen! I did make that discovery, but bulkimport errors out with message "Can't locate C4/Context.pm in @INC ( . . . etc.)" What did I do wrong? I'm using Fedora Core 1. Mark -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Hedges [mailto:shedges@skemotah.com] Sent: Monday, August 09, 2004 6:39 PM To: Bruffey, Mark Cc: koha-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] Possible to create/import separate records for multiple items with same ISBN? Mark, in intranet/scripts/misc you'll find bulkmarcimport.pl, which will probably work better for what you are wanting to do. If you run it without any arguments, you'll see a brief help screen.
