Koha 3.2 in virtualization or with several database : Is it effective ?
by Brice Sanchez 04 Aug '10

04 Aug '10

Hello everyone, I'm preparing to install Koha 3.2 for 20 schools and I was wondering if some of you had used the method of virtualization (VMWare or Virtualbox). If yes, is it effective? What are the problems you encountered? Have you done any benchmarks? I am also looking for a method with one Koha and several databases and Zebras : Is this a successful method? Thank you for your answers! *Brice Sanchez* Programmeur Web brice.sanchez(a)sys-tech.net <mailto:brice.sanchez@sys-tech.net> 418 520-0739 poste 136 514 907-0036 / 1-877-969-8324 *SYS-TECH / Technologies de l'information libres* 6700 BOUL PIERRE-BERTRAND BUREAU 209 QUÉBEC QC G2J 0B4 http://www.sys-tech.net /Membre supporteur de l'Association TYPO3 <http://typo3.org>/

KohaCon in 84 days
by Kristina Hoeppner 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

Hello, (apologies for cross-posting) Koha celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. As you know, we will hold this year's KohaCon in Wellington from 25-27 October 2010, followed by a Hackfest. You still have time to register. There are just 84 days left until kick-off. Please check out the conference web site at http://www.kohacon10.org.nz/ for further details including the conference schedule. We would like to welcome you to this free conference in Wellington during the southern hemisphere's spring. As you will be in the country of the birth of Koha, why not pay a visit to Koha's proper birthplace? We have planned an exciting trip to Levin, just north of Wellington, where everything started, for 28 October 2010. This excursion does not only give you the opportunity to visit Levin, it's library, and meet the mayor, but also participate in a powhiri, a traditional Maori welcome ceremony and experience traditional Maori food. You can find the trip details at http://www.kohacon10.org.nz/2010/program/levintrip.html If you have questions regarding the conference, please contact us at http://www.kohacon10.org.nz/contact.html Cheers Kristina for the Organizing Committee of KohaCon10

NOTE: If this fails due to permissions it is probably because you created your repository on your server as root. You should fix the permissions You can then do your work edit a file git commit file if you want that change on your server git push Occasionally you will want to do a git pull to get the latest changes from other members of your team also. Of course when working on GPLed code as Koha is, you have the option of hosting your repository somewhere like gitorious or github. That way others can benefit from the work you do and work isn't duplicated, and you are giving back to the project. Chris

Is There A Way To Request Data Via Another Web App
by Alex Jurgensen 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

Hi All, I am a new developer. I have a web application that requires to be able to query Koha for a list of books that are checked out to a particular user,. Is this exposed via an interface, or is reading it dirrectly from the database my best bet? If reading the data that I need dirrectly from the database is the best solution, is there documentation that describes the layout of the databases? Any help is greatly appreciated. Hopefully I can contribute here. Regards, Alex,

'koha' contains a standard configuration and is useful to get a single instance up and running quickly, and 'koha-common' (which contains all the code and support scripts) allows a more complex setup, at the expense of not giving you one up front. If you use the 'koha' package, you'll need to set up the zebra-related cron jobs and launch scripts yourself, as the site that it gives you isn't hooked into the Koha site management system that koha-common on its own uses. My recommendation at the moment would be to just install koha-common, and use the koha-create script to generate a single instance. What I might do in the future when I get time is make the 'koha' package install its default site in such a way that it gets managed by the koha-common tools. This would mean that the koha-rebuild-zebra cron job and such like magically happen. In fact, I've created a bug: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=5071 so that this doesn't fall off my radar. I've also edited the wiki page at http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_3.2_on_Debian_Squeeze to hopefully clarify this. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5957 6D23 8B16 EFAB FEF8 7175 14D3 6485 A99C EB6D

Deprecated System Preferences
by Nicole Engard 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

Hello all, There is a discussion going on on this bug report: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=3756 regarding deprecated preferences and the fact that they still show in Koha. I want to submit a patch (as is suggested) to remove these preferences, but I need confirmation that they are in fact deprecated. Below is the list of preferences can you all chip in and tell me which are really deprecated so that I don't delete something important? Some of these I think we do need but never made it to the new sys prefs interface ... others I remember reading were deprecated. acquisitions AnonymousPatron AutoEmailPrimaryAddress BakerTaylorPassword BranchTransferLimitsType defaultSortOrder FrameworksLoaded holdCancelLength ILS-DI:AuthorizedIPs kohaspsuggest libraryAddress marc MIME OAI-PMH:Set OAI-PMH:Subset OpacCloud OPACdefaultSortOrder OPACDisplayExtendedSubInfo OPACNoResultsFound OPACRerunSearch OPACSubscriptionDisplay OrderPdfTemplate pdfformat PINESISBN printcirculationslips RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight sortbynonfiling SyndeticsCoverImageSize TemplateEncoding Version z3950AuthorAuthFields Thanks a ton, Nicole C.

We need it to update Koha between different version. Is not deprecated, as I know. I don'r know it useful to not show it. >z3950AuthorAuthFields [section "Cataloguing"] It is used in cataloguing/addbiblio.pl and in acqui/neworderempty.pl. Those scripts use the system preferences in two subroutines called "MARCfindbreeding". Is a list of marc tags about authors. This list is different in Unimarc and in Marc21. I think we need to keep it. Bye Zeno Tajoli CILEA - Segrate (MI) tajoliAT_SPAM_no_prendiATcilea.it (Indirizzo mascherato anti-spam; sostituisci quanto tra AT con @)

Building Debian packages
by Robin Sheat 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

As I mentioned a little while back, I've started maintaining the Koha Debian packages. It occurred to me that some of you may want to make your own for internal use or whatever, so I've put the process I use to make them up on the wiki: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Building_Debian_Packages It'll need a fair bit of adaptation, as currently it's pretty customised to my configuration, and deployment of the debian.koha-community.org packages, but all the important steps are there. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5957 6D23 8B16 EFAB FEF8 7175 14D3 6485 A99C EB6D
