Printing configuration
by Desarrollo Koha 07 Sep '05

07 Sep '05

Hello: I am working on printing configuration and I am trying to print the current status of loans of a user (It seems to be the "circulation slip"). I also would like to print the record of a user and the complete result of a catalogue search, but it has been impossible for me to find how to do that. The closest thing to print I have found is the C4::Print module and it is only on the groups.pl cgi ( not useful for me). I have read the user guide and filled the printers table with info about the printer the server uses (debian + cups-pdf for testing). I can print on the server from my desktop and from the server itself (lp -d prtpdf testdoc) When I click on the print buttons I have found (slip, user properties, catalog) i can see nothing on the printer. Please, could somebody give to me any kind of advice? Thank you very much for your help Pablo

Forwarded to me by an amigos OCLC member.... Thought I would share this... -Ed Sharpe archivist for SMECC LOUISIANA STATE LIBRARY ISSUES URGENT CALL FOR COMPUTERS, PRINTERS The State library of Louisiana has sent out this call for computer equipment. If you are interested and able to send computers, here is the request from the Louisiana State Librarian, Rebecca Hamilton. "To all-we are in desperate need of computers/printers. We are being inundated with evacuees needing to file FEMA applications, unemployment, search for loved ones, etc. and are coming into our public libraries to use the computers. Our libraries have greatly extended their hours to accommodate the people but they need additional computers and printers. If you can please put the word out that if anyone wants to help immediately, this is our greatest need." Equipment Specs: * Pentium 3 * Windows 2000, prefer XP * Laser printers if you can still get toner for them Send equipment to: State Library of Louisiana 701 North 4th Street Baton Rouge, La. 70802-5232 If you are able to assist them, please let Rebecca know via email at rhamilton(a)crt.state.la.us to help her know what to expect.

Koha Statuses
by Joshua Ferraro 06 Sep '05

06 Sep '05

Hi all, Paul and I talked extensively about item statuses in Koha today. I have some clarification on that as well as some questions. 1. Koha statuses can be stored in items.notforloan (in 3.0 lets change this to items.status) a. if items.notforloan>0 it's notforloan b. you can setup authorized values to map status codes to text c. you can display the status text on the interfaces or use the code in the scripts to set things like 'norequests' to avoid displaying 'Place Reserve' on the OPAC. 2. We need to add a status editing subroutine that queries the authorized value for items.notforloan and allows staff to quickly set a status for a given item using a dropdown box (instead of having to edit the MARC record). 3. We need to modify Koha's automatic status routines to use the new system and need preference mappings for those status routines (an example is the routine that sets an item's status to 'lost' after it's longoverdue; since the 'lost' status is a manually configured setting using the 'notforloan' scheme there should be a way to specify which status is to be set when an item is longoverdue (from the authorized value)). Another 'automatic' status that needs to be managed correclty is branch transfers. A staff should be able to scan an item for return, if it's on reserve in another branch they should be able to set the status to 'in transit', then when it arrives in the new branch and staff scans it, they should be able to set the status to 'arrived' (and maybe later, if it's a bit library, to 'waiting'). All of these statuses should be viewable from Koha's interfaces (the OPAC and the Intranet). I hope this makes sense. 4. Finally, a question. I'm still not clear on the relationship between Koha's itemtype.notforloan and items.notforloan. Is there some way we can ensure that the Koha interfaces display correct status information based on the values in both of these fields? For instance, if a new library migrates their data to Koha and sets all 'notforloan' in items to '0' but has itemtype 'REF''s notforloan set to '1' Koha interfaces don't currently know not to display 'Place Reserve'.

about "reviews" commits
by Paul POULAIN 05 Sep '05

05 Sep '05

Hi chris, owen & al, I've seen your commits for review. Sounds great, but 2 questions : * did you forget to commit or write updater/updatedatabase ? I don't know how to create reviews table. * why did you wrote your templates for NPL theme ? I still use css until prog is done. We should be careful or we will have bugs due to templates diffs. (question for owen : when do you think prog will be done ?) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
