Can't call method "append_fields"
by constantine 13 Oct '09

13 Oct '09

Yes, the previous problem was solved, indeed... I do not understand why I have so many problems installing koha,.. maybe the last years I was too used to Joomla! installations :D So the challenging koha that its concept I so much admire and embrace makes me face another problem. Trying to add a MARC record, (I retrieved its data from a z30.50 server, but that does not matter, I think) and then I am getting an error page (http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/additem.pl) Its contents are: " Koha error The following fatal error has occurred: Can't call method "append_fields" on an undefined value at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/MARC/File/SAX.pm line 95. at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0/XML/LibXML/SAX.pm line 64 at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/MARC/File/XML.pm line 443 Apache Server version: Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) Server built: Jun 21 2008 10:35:35 Koha 3.00.00.094 Koha DB 3.0000094 MySQL mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.51a, for debian-linux-gnu (i486) using readline 5.2 OS Linux sangre 2.6.25.9xx6-costis07 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jul 2 02:35:38 EEST 2008 i686 GNU/Linux Perl 5.010000 " The laste contens of /var/log/koha/koha-error_log are [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :orignew at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :1 at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :ocip at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :20 at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :y-gencatlg at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :ddc at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :SR at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :pc15 2006-07-19 to SSCD at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :jp00 2006-07-26 CIP recd at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :jp20 2006-07-26 to subj at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :jp03 2006-07-26 at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :aa05 2006-07-27 at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :1 at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] addbiblio.pl: INDEXING :1 at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Biblio.pm line 2319., referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [debug] mod_deflate.c(619): [...] Zlib: Compressed 37993 to 5966 : URL /cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/additem.pl, referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl?biblionumber=0&… [...] [error] [...] [...] additem.pl: Can't call method "append_fields" on an undefined value at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/MARC/File/SAX.pm line 95. at /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0/XML/LibXML/SAX.pm line 64, referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/additem.pl?biblionumber=1&fr… [...] [error] [...] [...] additem.pl: at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/MARC/File/XML.pm line 443, referer: http://localhost:8080/cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/additem.pl?biblionumber=1&fr… What could I do to solve this problem?

Authority in Koha 3 (English - Unimarc - NoZebra)
by Zeno Tajoli 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Hi to all, I have found a but into installer data for Unimarc / English language. I'm using a NoZebra setting and I think this option is importan for this bug. The setup of Authority is based on the file installer/data/mysql/en/marcflavour/unimarc/mandatory/authorities_normal_unimarc.sql But this definition gives problems, see my e-mail "Problems on working with authority" in koha general list, 05 Jun 2008 09:14. A correct defintion is the frence definition. Probably the main problem is to insert authtypecode = '' into all records of tables auth_tag_structure and auth_subfield_structure. I think that the frence defintion could be good also for English Unimarc definition. My authority defintion (a transaltion of franch definition into english) is attached to this mail.

RFC: New System Preference to Determine which 'Types' and associated icons to display in advanced Search
by Joshua Ferraro 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

Hi all, It seems like every library has a different definition of what they want to display as 'Type' limits in the advanced search area. The API is currently flexible to support any defined indexes, but customizing this beyond the default itemtypes currently requires editing of the advsearch.tmpl templates -- not horrible, but still kinda annoying. I propose a new syspref that allows the user to specify either 'itemtypes' (default) or any codes from authorised_values to be the limits in place of itemtypes (so for example, ccode). This would allow every library to define their own authorised-values, and then use those as search limits in advsearch.tmpl, without any template modifications. It's a fairly trivial addition, and if we default to itemtypes, won't affect any existing Koha installations. Thoughts?

RFC 3.2: Autogeneration of Koha UML diagrams
by Zeno Tajoli 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

Hi to all, from first day of October 2008 CILEA is going to support a project about Koha as student stage (followd by me). We want to improve tecnical documentation about Koha 3.0 (I hope to have a stable release for october !!). Starting from perl scripts avaible from internet we want to develop a script that read Koha API (C4 dir) and write a .xmi file with an UML rappresentation of classes, methods and usage of methods. In fact a work like this is possible only if API are written in a precise standard of coding. It thimk it s , as I know. But this is also a good check. We will report all problems we found, to be fixed in 3.2 We also write complete E-R diagrams for Koha DB and a specific document for every table But now the .xmi file in fact needs to be sligthy different for every UML tool. We can work with two Open source tool, ArgoUML and Umbrello We can usa also Rational Rose (the biggest commercial tool for UML). Which tool do you prefer ? If you think it is a useful project, I will insert it into RFCs for Koha 3.2 <http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:rfcs3.2> Bye Zeno Tajoli CILEA - Segrate (MI) tajoliAT_SPAM_no_prendiATcilea.it (Indirizzo mascherato anti-spam; sostituisci quanto tra AT con @)

Status of Debian and Koha
by Vincent Danjean 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

Hi, I'm pleased to announce that most of Koha dependencies (as listed in Makefile.PL) are present and up-to-date in Debian. The only exceptions are: * XML::RSS: the package libxml-rss-perl is outdated but its maintainer has just accepted that the package will be maintained by the Debian Perl Group. So it should be ok very soon. * Zebra [and Koha itself]: they will need more work According to a recent post on this list, zebra seems to require a more recent version of ZOOM (or at least of libyaz) than the one currently in Debian: Makefile.PL (from Koha) requires ZOOM >= 1.16 that works with libyaz2 2.1.48. Both ZOOM 1.16 and libyaz2 2.1.48 are on my webpage and in Debian experimental. But newer versions seem to be required. There is good hope here again that we will be able to upload an up-to-date yaz package in a few weeks. Next step: packaging zebra and Koha...

Hi Galen - I'm looking forward to that RFC and hearing any resulting discussion. At the risk of opening up the discussion too early, I'll say that I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one with that opinion on 'use warnings' (and 'use strict'!). -Andy

Spine Label Wrapping in 2.2.x
by Chris Nighswonger 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

Hi all, Can anyone confirm or deny that the labels code in Koha 2.2.x had a decent, working algorithm for wrapping the text on spine labels? A quick look at the code seems to indicate that the text was just wrapped at 14 columns without consideration of where that might fall in the text.

RFC 3.2 - put item hold request flag in circulation policy matrix
by Galen Charlton 01 Aug '08

01 Aug '08

At present, if a patron is allowed to place hold requests, they can request any item that is not on loan or doesn't have the binding, lost, or notforloan statuses set. However, some LibLime customers to need more precisely control which items are available for hold requests. For example, a library may want to permit loans for certain item types but not hold requests. To meet this requirement, LibLime proposes to add a "holdability" flag to the circulation matrix (i.e., issuingrules). This would allow a library to specify for each branch which patron categories are allowed to place holds on which item types. This holdability flag would be the hold request equivalent of the recall flag proposed in the recalls RFC. Adding this setting will influence: * what item records are available to fill a title-level hold request * what items a patron is allowed to place an item-level hold request for During database upgrade, the holdability flag would be turned on for all existing issuingrules rows, thus preserving the current behavior of allowing all available items to be the target of hold requests. A copy of this RFC is available on the Koha wiki at http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:rfcs3.2:rfc32_holdability_f… Thanks in advance for comments.
