file encoding problems
by Chadwick, John, DCA 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

I am trying to edit the sort-string-utf.chr file to map characters with diacritics (acute and grave accents) to letters without accents. The problem I am running into is that I am trying to open up the files in a program called jEdit. The editor tells me that the French version is in cp1250. The English version is utf-8 encoding and the diacritics are showing up in the file with all sorts of extra characters and square boxes. Any suggestions at this point would be appreciated.

Possible Bug in Circulation - > Overdues
by Roche III, Edward 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

Good Morning All We are having an issue when trying to download our overdue list. The link is located under Circulation -> Overdues (under Circulation Reports) -> Download file of All Overdues. When we click this link it goes through the motion of creating an excel file and opening the file in Excel but has no data in it. We tried to filter out just one branch but that didn't' work either. There are about 20 or so overdue entries listed on the screen. Any thoughts? Thanks Ed Edward J. Roche Network Administrator Solanco School District 717.786.2151 x2437 "At the End of the Day, Did You Play to Win or Not to Lose?"

by charl＠prograbiz.com 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

I communicated this issue to the list a while ago. In case anyone has the same problem, I have solved this the following way: Go to system preferences Cataloging NoZebraIndexes Change isbn to nb save Reindex using rebuild_nozebra.pl Now ISBN searches work. I still have the same problem with "Limit type to" What is the type index called in NoZebraIndexes? I will appreciate comments about this issue. 1) Why is this? 2) How does zebra = yes handle isbn searches?
