Koha Codebase Size?
by Stan Brinkerhoff 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

All, Has there been any discussion about trimming down the size of the Koha distribution? The issue it seems isn't the code; but rather items such as TinyMCE being copied into every template directory, and the /misc/ folder is rather huge. It seems as though the 47mb tar file could easily be 20-30mb. Stan

About Javascript translations
by Nahuel ANGELINETTI 29 Dec '08

29 Dec '08

Hi all, We saw the javascript files(.js) are not translated. In fact, only .tmpl and .inc strings are exported in po files. Some developers added some strings to be translated in javascript files (Like "Cart" button in OPAC), so when we translate in french, there is no translation for those strings. I looked up content of tmpl_process, xgettext.pl, TmplTokenizer and saw that only <script> tags are parsed as javascript. I tryied to patch it quickly to try parsing .js files as "<script>" content, but it seems that is more complicated it seems. Perhaps someone who already patched those files can guide me to the right way? Bests, -- Nahuel ANGELINETTI

To port Koha on Windows
by Zeno Tajoli 29 Dec '08

29 Dec '08

Hi to all, Reading the wiki page http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:installation:win32:koha_3_win32_install… it think that there problems on the use of perl module XML::LibXSLT. I think it is a must for a working Koha 3.0 on windows. Is it so ? I probably have a light budget to pay a very skilled C developer to fix the problem. Is it useful ? Are there others problems to have Koha 3.0 on windows ?

binmode in pler scripts for utf-8 support
by Rick Welykochy 29 Dec '08

29 Dec '08

Hi all, I ran across this bit of randomness today: binmode STDOUT, ":utf8"; It occurs in only three perl scripts in Koha: ./circ/ysearch.pl ./misc/sax_parser_test.pl ./reports/guided_reports.pl Should this binmode setting be executed in all of our perl scripts to provide correct utf-8 support? If not, why not? cheers rickw -- _________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur. -- Al Gore, Vice President

Koha patrons area config
by mikyas hailu 26 Dec '08

26 Dec '08

Hi All, I am assistant librarian in haramya university, Ethiopia. We are currently using koha 2.2.9 on windows. The cataloging module including the MARC works fine for me But I have problem in adding new patrons... It properly validates the data (Mailing Address,Last Name...) but it does not really hold the patrons information. Is there anything I need to change in memberentry.pl or which the koha table ... Thank you for your kind support!!!!!

Supporting Modules - Version Requirements?
by Stan Brinkerhoff 22 Dec '08

22 Dec '08

I have been updating the Ubuntu 8.04 install guide on the Wiki for Koha to make it more thorough and accurate. I was able to install almost every Perl module required for Koha from apt, however there are quite a few instances where Koha requires a slightly newer version: [Mon Dec 22 12:21:24 2008] Makefile.PL: Warning: prerequisite Class::Factory::Util 1.6 not found. [Mon Dec 22 12:21:24 2008] Makefile.PL: Warning: prerequisite Data::ICal 0.13 not found. [Mon Dec 22 12:21:24 2008] Makefile.PL: Warning: prerequisite Email::Date 1.103 not found. We have 1.102.

We have unknown version. [Mon Dec 22 12:21:25 2008] Makefile.PL: Warning: prerequisite Text::Iconv 1.7 not found. We have 1.4. Writing Makefile for koha Excuse the "not found" entries -- but are the other versions NEEDED, or could their requirements be backed down slightly to allow Ubuntu 8.04 to be an easier to support platform?
