koha-3.00.00 make fails
by Rick Welykochy 28 Dec '13

28 Dec '13

Hi all, I have downloaded http://download.koha.org/koha-3.00.00.tar.gz and began installing it on Debian/etch (in a Linux vserver environment). 0. FINE: cd koha-3.00.00 1. FINE: perl Makefile.PL 2. FAIL: make : : : Manifying blib/man3/C4::UploadedFile.3pm Manifying blib/man3/C4::BackgroundJob.3pm Manifying blib/man3/opac::opac-dictionary.3pm Manifying blib/man3/serials::member-search.3pm /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" fix-perl-path.PL blib /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" rewrite-config.PL blib/KOHA_CONF_DIR/koha-conf.xml Bad arg length for Socket::inet_ntoa, length is 0, should be 4 at rewrite-config.PL line 67. make: *** [blib/KOHA_CONF_DIR/koha-conf.xml] Error 255 Any ideas what went wrong and how to fix? Aside: there were a couple of other problems with this "out of the box" debian based install of Koha 3.0 which had to be fixed along the way, e.g. seven missing perl modules and libgd not found. I'll report on the entire process from unpacking to a running Koha/3.00.00 once I get to the end. cheers rickw -- ________________________________________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services || Internet Driving Instructor The manual said Windows XP/SP2 or better so I installed Linux.

system preference question (anonymous preferences)
by Nicole Engard 19 Jul '10

19 Jul '10

There are 2 system preferences in my most recent version of HEAD: - AnonSuggestions -- Set to anonymous borrowernumber to enable Anonymous suggestions - AnonymousPatron -- Set the identifier (borrowernumber) of the 'Mister anonymous' patron. Used for Suggestion and reading history privacy Does this mean that AnonSuggestions is not used? I personally think we need both and that Anon should be for suggestions and AnonymousPatron for reading history. Can someone please clarify these for me? Thanks Nicole

Improving Koha's OPAC Search
by Chad G. Hansen 19 Jan '10

19 Jan '10

I am part of a team of researchers in the Brigham Young University Computer Science department who are interested in improving the searching used by Koha's OPAC interface. Others on the team have come up with a fast and effective way to do searching using folksonomies and we are interested in adding that system to one of the open-source library systems out there. We are considering both Koha and Evergreen for this. We would like to have the Koha communities involvement as much as possible. We would like to either enhance the existing search algorithm of Koha or replace it with our own search. We would like to know if anyone is interested in being involved with this? We would also like to get any pointers on how possible and how difficult this might be for our team to do this, keeping in mind that we are newish to the library specific protocols and formats (MARC, Z39.50, etc). Thanks for your consideration. -- Thank you, Chad Hansen e. cgh(a)byu.edu p. 801-477-0295

Perl compatability
by Joe Ellis 17 Jan '10

17 Jan '10

The notes on installing koha on Ubuntu states that there may be a problem using a version later than 5.8. I am trying to use Ubuntu 9.1 which has perl 5.10. Does anyone know if this combination will work or will I have to downgrade my perl installation? Thanks J Ellis

Use of TMPL_IF EXPR
by Owen Leonard 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Re: Bug 2670 (http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=2670) Is it possible to set up guidelines under which EXPR is allowed? If we can confirm that variables will be output under all circumstances would an EXPR be allowed? -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

by ricardo mendoza 12 Jan '10

12 Jan '10

Hi all, at this time how to improve support for koha to use postgresql, someone could explain that you can do to make fully functional koha with postgresql.I see that postgresql offers many features than can koha use managed to improve its performance. I like to explore the possibility of starting to develop the necessary code for koha to make a complete and functional use of all PostgreSQL features, with the help of experienced developers. Thank you, Ricardo

A question about subtitles and performance
by Owen Leonard 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

At the moment when you look at the contents of a list in the OPAC or the staff client you don't see subtitles. In other places in Koha I've seen this used to grab subtitles: my $subtitle = C4::Biblio::get_koha_field_from_marc('bibliosubtitle', 'subtitle', $record, ''); Where $record is set by doing: my $record = GetMarcBiblio($biblionumber); It works to make these changes in C4/VirtualShelves/Page.pm (around line 183), but I'm not sure that's the right thing to do here--I'm concerned about the overhead of doing that when looping through list contents. Yes? No? -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

About adding a custom field in KOHA
by nitesh rijal 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

Hello all. I am trying to make GSDL fulltext integration in KOHA in a different way as it is now. I added a field in the Default MARC framework structure. I have added a field 952'x' naming it Fulltext. Here I want to store a flag "YES" or "NO" to identify whether I have a fulltext for the current item or not. I also added a field in the table "biblioitems" of type enum("YES","NO"). My problem is that, I want the "View Full Text" link only in those search results which have 952'x' = YES . How can I make this possible??? I have attached a screenshot as how is the link looking right now. Please Help. Thank you. -- Nitesh Rijal BE IT email: rijal.it(a)gmail.com url: http://niteshrijal.com.np facebook: http://facebook.com/openrijal twitter: http://twitter.com/openrijal +9779841458173

KOHA Error Redirecting Help
by nitesh rijal 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

Hello all. I am having some problem with redirecting a standard KOHA Error to some other page. Actually I've modified a function to navigate to next and previous biblionumber within the records in KOHA. The problem is that if I supply a existing biblionumber it works fine, but when I supply a biblionumber that is not present then it gives the following error. Koha error > > The following fatal error has occurred: > > Can't call method "title" on an undefined value at /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl line 878. > > Apache Server version: Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) Server built: Nov 14 2009 > 20:23:49 Koha 3.00.02.012 Koha DB 3.0002012 MySQL mysql Ver 14.12 Distrib > 5.0.51a, for debian-linux-gnu (i486) using readline 5.2 OS Linux > koha.healthnet.org.np 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP Wed Nov 4 20:45:37 UTC 2009 i686 > Perl 5.010000 I just want to format that ERROR message to display something else or just redirect to a "ADD New Record" form. I cannot find where the error is being displayed from. Please if anyone knows where to change these things, help me.
