(Look for the Idx: lines). Ooops, this is getting more complicated for me. MARC21 slim defines the MARCXML as <collection><record></record></collection>. The perl MARC module produces XML according to this. When you run zebraidx with a proper MARCXML you get an error saying collection.abs could not be found. So you are forced to rename marc21.abs as collection.abs by zebraidx or by ZOOM in that sense. To make things more complicated everything seems to work until you try to use the recordID feature. If your XML file omits the MARC tags below 10 then RecordID works everytime. However if you have tags below 10 out of 50k records I got 30% with bad-match error. So I am trying to eliminate whether its KOHA reproduced records doing or not. I'll post the outcome on this list. Regards, Tumer Garip

New Feature: IntranetNav
by Joshua Ferraro 05 Feb '06

05 Feb '06

Hi all, I've just committed a new syspref to rel_2_2: IntranetNav It allows you to add HTML tags in a systempref that will be included in the left-hand nav bar in the NPL templates. For instance, adding the following HTML: <li><h4>LibLime Site</h4></li> <li><a href="http://liblime.com">www.liblime.com</a></li> <li><a href="http://liblime.com/c/demos.html">liblime demos</a> <ul><li><a href="http://opac.liblime.com">Koha OPAC</a></li> <li><a href="http://koha.liblime.com">Koha Circ/Admin</a></li> <li><a href="http://selfcheck.liblime.com">Koha Self-checkout</a></li> <li><a href="http://mambo.liblime.com">Mambo Intranet</a></li> </ul></li> will look like this in the intranet: http://kohatest.liblime.com (after login: circ / liblime notice bottom left-hand nav bar.

New Feature: OpacNav
by Joshua Ferraro 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

Hi all, I just committed a new feature to rel_2_2: OpacNav. It allows a library to specify HTML links on the left-hand navigation bar in Owen's NPL templates (not sure about default). To use this, simply add some HTML to OpacNav in system preferences. Here's an example: <ul> <li><a href="http://liblime.com">www.liblime.com</a></li> <li><a href="http://liblime.com/c/demos.html">LibLime Demos</a> <ul> <li><a href="/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl">Catalog Home</a></li> <li><a href="/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl">Advanced Search</a></li> <li><a href="/cgi-bin/koha/opac-user.pl">My Account</a></li> <li><a href="/cgi-bin/koha/opac-shelves.pl">My Book Lists</a></li> <li><a href="/cgi-bin/koha/opac-suggestions.pl">Purchase Suggestions</a></li> <li><a href="http://koha.liblime.com">Koha Circ/Admin</a></li></ul></li> </ul> It will look like the left-hand bar in this OPAC: http://opac.liblime.com Paul/HDL, to add this to default, simply add:  to navigation.inc (or equiv in default).

Improvements forecast in 2.2.6
by Henri-Damien LAURENT 03 Feb '06

03 Feb '06

hi koha-folks, We (Paul and I) are thinking about some improvements here in France on next Koha subversion. They will be on Serials management and Acquisition. We propose you them to see whether we are heading in the good direction or we are going nuts ;). Any (serious) comment on the following propositions will be welcome. :) Serials Management ------------------------------ Adding a YesNo system preference (say SerialaddItems) in order to add items on issue reception for a serials. If this syspref is set to 1 (Yes), when managing reception of an issue, a new line (under number would come out and propose to input item information such as : - barcode, - homebranch (holdingbranch would be the same), - itemcallnumber (if managed in items tab), - items.status (if items.notforloan manage in item tab), - location (if managed in items tab) (The issue number would be stored into items.notes.) Acquisitions ----------------- ATM, we have a big deal with receptions. We do not really manage a history of parcels reception. And people cannot know which book came in which parcel. We are striving to make things better. Here is what we came to : In order to manage parcels and reception, when one clicks on receive on the supplier page, one shall be provided with the parcels list ordered by datereceived descending PLUS the possibility to add create a new one. Each parcel will be clickable When clicking one will be able - to see what he received - to add lines to one parcel whenever he wants. - (Maybe) to see and manage what is still to be received from this supplier. This will in some ways make the same thing as basket management but from reception view. One can never be aware of partially received baskets.... unless user lateorders or histsearch.... but this is not so user-friendly. What can be suggested is to add a non printable column qtyreceived to basket information, with price, qty, qtyreceived and rrp bold if reception not completed. One can never see old baskets. We suggest : When clicking suppliername on order.pl, let us not edit supplier information but rather display supplier information with three buttons : - Edit Supplier Information (Easy) - View basket history (where the WHOLE history of baskets would be displayed with the same information as those displayed on current baskets in order.pl page) - View reception history (the same page as the one we suggest to add for parcel management) We are waiting for comments. Have a nice day. -- Henri-Damien LAURENT

RE: [Koha-devel] www.koha-fr.org, new look
by Anthony Youngman 02 Feb '06

02 Feb '06

Something to think about ... (and it should be an approximate copy of the main koha site :-) Somebody mentioned mirrors. That could give you www.fr.koha.org, www.uk.koha.org, www.nz.koha.org etc. I don't know how easy it would be to do, but maybe the master site can have a link that points to an area on the local server that is not mirrored. This would then contain local content, ie all the french stuff, any uk stuff that is generated, etc etc. Cheers, Wol -----Original Message----- From: koha-devel-bounces+anthony.youngman=eca-international.com(a)nongnu.org [mailto:koha-devel-bounces+anthony.youngman=eca-international.com@nongnu .org] On Behalf Of Russel Garlick Sent: 26 January 2006 21:33 To: MJ Ray Cc: koha-devel(a)nongnu.org Subject: Re: [Koha-devel] www.koha-fr.org, new look Hi > > Not really. koha.org is on the dark side of the moon, in network > terms from England.

This should result in much better perfomance to the site. As for us kiwi's who live on the dark side of the moon, we are used to such lag, so I don't think members of the Koha community here in NZ and Australia will notice much difference. It will take us a week or two to get this going, mainly cos we will wait till Chris gets back from wooing everyone at linux.conf.au.
