09 Aug '10

Hello world, it cames to my radar that there is a tool called Perl::Critic that could be usefull : http://search.cpan.org/~elliotjs/Perl-Critic-1.108/lib/Perl/Critic.pm it's included in Ubuntu, I installed it, run perl-critic *.pl, and get some interesting things (without any parameter changes, just the default critic) Could/Should we use such a tool ? -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08

Calling All Developers : Manual Search
by Nicole Engard 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

Hi all, I've had some trouble with the search we have set up for the Koha Manual (it was quick and free and easy to set up so that's what we have for now). It's not showing all of the possible results for searches and it's not really very user friendly. I'm wondering if any of you very smart people have a better way we can set up a search for the manual on the Koha site. Thanks Nicole

Hi Nitesh What you need to do is not set an actual value if it is false. So it should contain a value if true, and be undefined if false. Then you can simply do  block of code  This type of question is much better suited to the development list, which I have cc'd please reply to there only (I have left the other list in case you aren't subscribed) Chris

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?

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,
