Some bugs maybe, or not understanding it right....

Heihei, I think there is a little bug that results in a dead link. If I open the "View Patron's Reading Record" I can click on its name on that page to get more info about this user, but it is a dead link to the not existing (404) file "/cgi-bin/koha/moremember.pl". I think it should be: "/cgi-bin/koha/members/moremember.pl". I have problems logging into the "Library Catalog", because I am getting always the error that my card number is invalid. Which card number do I have to enter there? I think it is bit strange or confusing if you can enter values for Card Number in "Update Patron Details" page that are not valid in the "Library Catalog" by the JavaScript "ValidateCode()" function. Which password and UserID do I change under the Patrons Detail page and "Change Password", btw? Are they used for the Koha Intranet only? Thank you very much! Regards, Klaus -- take care! xo,klaus

Where we should add this function ?
by Andrés Tarallo 03 Feb '05

03 Feb '05

Our Librarians discovered that: when you're in the OPAC Search, when you enter in the ISBD detail (at least in the OPAC) those fields that have authorized values aren't displayed propoerly. To clarify this: When you display a certain field that has an authorized valued you get the key, not the value. We developed a function that "notices" that a field has authorized values and returns the proper value or does nothing. We want to to contribute back this function to the project, In which module should we add this function? Thanks Andres PD: We'll be on leave till Janury 17th.

All in all it looks great, Rachel. I want mention one quick thing right away, though: I think the 'clear' button form control is usually useless and often harmful. The aggravation of clearing a form you've painstakingly filled out far outweighs the convenience of being able to clear a form. I would recommend leaving it out of any future Koha template. Just my $.02, Owen

Re: [Koha-devel] how can i change kohaadmin's password???
by Partha Mukhopadhyay 30 Jan '05

30 Jan '05

Hello friends I did it in KOHA 2.0 (stable) windows ver. I copied sample200 db with tabl es a nd data in a separate db and deleted all data from there by using sql commands.Then I alloted the rights exclusively to a mysql user created by me (it requires mysql root password but initially mysql don't provide any password). Finally , I changed the user and db entry in koha.conf file by replacing koha and sample200 with the new password and database name respectively. If you are not familiar with mysql command, you can use mysqlyog a gui freeware to manage mysql databases and users. Best regards Partha S. Mukhopadhyay Lecturer, Dept. of Library & Information Sc.

request bulkmarcimport assistance
by Bruffey, Mark 29 Jan '05

29 Jan '05

I'm getting the following error when attempting to run bulkmarcimport.pl: BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./bulkmarcimport.pl line 10. It seems like I had a similar problem when I imported records some months ago, but, of course, I do not appear to have documented the solution to it . . . . Sincere thanks for any assistance. Mark L.
