The OLE Project news: Funding goes to (closed) Kuali Foundation: open source administrative software for higher education, by higher education
by Irma Birchall 11 Jan '10

11 Jan '10

Hi all, You might wish to know that Indiana University has been awarded US$2.38 million from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to develop library software. The article does not mention if any or which currently available open source code will be used. Even with US$2.38 can all wheels be reinvented? Who will get the credit at the end of the day? Read more about it here http://kuali.org/node/268 Some sentences from the article are copied below: "Brad Wheeler, Kuali Foundation board chair and vice president for information technology at IU says: "We are grateful for their support of this open, extensible and deeply collaborative work among the OLE investing libraries. The libraries' choice to anchor the project in the Kuali Foundation will ensure its quality, openness and sustainability for years to come."" "IU will lead the Kuali OLE (Open Library Environment) project, a partnership of research libraries dedicated to managing increasingly digital resources and collections. Together, these libraries will develop "community source" software that will be made available to libraries worldwide." "The Kuali OLE collaboration comes at the perfect time," said Deborah Jakubs, Rita DiGiallonardo Holloway University Librarian and vice provost for library affairs at Duke University. "If libraries are to provide excellent support for scholarship and teaching well into the future, we must develop a new model that reflects the true needs of our organizations and facilitates our work in a constantly changing environment. This partnership capitalizes on the experience, the commitment and the energy of a key group of institutions to build that model for the future of research library operations." "An accomplished team of librarians select, manage and grow Indiana University's research collections, which include more than 6.6 million books and materials in more than 350 languages. The materials support every academic discipline on campus, with an emphasis in the humanities and social sciences. Collections also include journals, maps, films and sound recordings. Users can access more than 692 databases, 60,315 electronic journals, and 816,255 electronic books, as well as locally developed digital content." Best regards, Irma .......

Hi, i have added a virtual keyboard in my OPAC. I am providing you the code with which i did it. The procedure i followed: I entered my given whole code in Opacheader field. But, the point is: *I cannot input any fonts/data from my keyboard in my OPAC search box. That means, i cannot use my virtual keyboard to input any data in my search box. Here is the complete code: "** <html> <head> <style> .searchform { font-size:20px; width:40px; text-align:center; } .searchform2{ font-size:20px; width:36.6px; text-align:center; } .space { width:160px; } .dari { width:80px; } </style> <script src="http://jquery.com/src/jquery-latest.min.js"></script> <script src="http://fromvega.com/code/easydrag/jquery.easydrag.js"></script> </head> <body> <textarea id="searchform" </textarea> <br/><input type="button" style="font-size:20px;margin-bottom:20px;" value="ভার্চুয়াল কিবোর্ড" onclick="showVk();" /><br/> <div id="keyb" style="display:none;text-align:center;border:1px solid #ccc;width:450px;background-color:#FFF;"> <div id='vktitle' style='position: relative;padding:0px 10px 0px 10px;font-size:20px;height:40px;line-height:40px;background-color:#444;color:#CCC;text-align:left;'> ভার্চুয়াল কীবোর্ড <div style="position: absolute; bottom: 0.1em; right: 0.5em;cursor:pointer;" onclick="hideVk();"> বন্ধ কর </div> </div> <div id="vkcontainer" style="padding:20px;"> <div id="vkvowels" style="width:420px;tect-align:center;"> </div> <div id="vkkars" style="width:420px;tect-align:center;"> </div> <div id="vkconsonants" style="margin-top:15px"> </div> <div id="vknumbers" style="margin-top:15px"> </div> <div style="clear:both;"></div> </div> </div> <br/> <script> var ir, searchform, banglaSafe=""; $(document).ready(function(){ showVirtualKeyboard(); $('#keyb').easydrag(true); }); var reserved = "2445,2446,2449,2450,2473,2481,2483,2484,2485,2444,2500,2501,2502,"; var activeta = "searchform"; function showVirtualKeyboard(){ var counter = 0; for(i=2437; i<=2489;i++) { // ir = reserved.indexOf(i+","); if (ir=="-1"){ searchform = "\\u0"+num2hex(i); banglaSafe = "&#"+i+";"; if (i<2453 ) drawButton(i,"vkvowels"); else{ drawButton(i,"vkconsonants"); counter++; } //$("<input type='button' onclick='insertAtCursor(\""+searchform+"\")' value='"+searchformSafe+"' />").appendTo('#consonants'); if ( i>2453 && counter>=10) { $("<br/>").appendTo("#vkconsonants"); counter=0; } } } drawHexButton("\u0995\u09CD\u09B7","vkconsonants"); drawHexButton("\u09DC","vkconsonants"); drawHexButton("\u09DD","vkconsonants"); drawHexButton("\u09DF","vkconsonants"); drawHexButton("\u09CE","vkconsonants"); drawHexButton("\u0982","vkconsonants"); drawHexButton("\u0983","vkconsonants"); drawHexButton("\u0981","vkconsonants"); $("#vkvowels input").attr("class","searchform2"); $("#vkconsonants input").attr("class","searchform"); $("<input class='searchform space' type='button' onclick='insertAtCursor(\" \")' value='\u09B8\u09CD\u09AA\u09C7\u09B8' />").appendTo('#vkconsonants'); $("<input class='searchform dari' type='button' onclick='insertAtCursor(\"\u0964\")' value='\u0964' />").appendTo('#vkconsonants'); $("<input class='searchform space' type='button' onclick='insertAtCursor(\"\u09CD\")' value='\u09AF\u09C1\u0995\u09CD\u09A4\u0020\u0995\u09B0\u09C1\u09A8' />").appendTo('#vkconsonants'); $("<br/>").appendTo("#vkconsonants"); for(i=2534; i<=2543;i++) { searchform = "\\u0"+num2hex(i); banglaSafe = "&#"+i+";"; $("<input type='button' onclick='insertAtCursor(\""+searchform+"\")' value='"+banglaSafe+"' />").appendTo('#vknumbers'); } for(i=2494; i<=2504;i++) { ir = reserved.indexOf(i+","); if (ir=="-1"){ searchform = "\\u0"+num2hex(i); banglaSafe = "&#"+i+";"; $("<input type='button' onclick='insertAtCursor(\""+searchform+"\")' value='"+banglaSafe+"' />").appendTo('#vkkars'); } } drawButton("2507","vkkars"); drawButton("2508","vkkars"); $("<input class='searchform' type='button' onclick='insertAtCursor(\"\u09CD\u09AF\")' value='\u09CD\u09AF' />").appendTo('#vkkars'); $("#vknumbers input").attr("class","searchform"); $("#vkkars input").attr("class","searchform2"); } function num2hex(num) { num = new Number(num); return num.toString(16); } function hex2num(hex) { return parseInt(hex,16); } function drawButton(value, container, cls) { //if (cls=="") searchform = "\\u0"+num2hex(value); banglaSafe = "&#"+value+";"; $("<input type='button' onclick='insertAtCursor(\""+searchform+"\")' value='"+banglaSafe+"' />").appendTo('#'+container); } function drawHexButton(value, container) { $("<input type='button' onclick='insertAtCursor(\""+value+"\")' value='"+value+"' />").appendTo('#'+container); } function hideVk() { $("#keyb").hide("slow"); } function showVk() { $("#keyb").show("slow"); } function insertAtCursor(myValue) { var myField = document.getElementById(activeta); if (document.selection) { myField.focus(); sel = document.selection.createRange(); sel.text = myValue; sel.collapse(true); sel.select(); } //MOZILLA/NETSCAPE support else if (myField.selectionStart || myField.selectionStart == 0) { var startPos = myField.selectionStart; var endPos = myField.selectionEnd; var scrollTop = myField.scrollTop; startPos = (startPos == -1 ?

I spent ages trying to install Koha 3.0 RC1 onto Debian 5 with little success, even though its running on Debian 5 on another server, which will take way too much time and bandwidth, transferring the entire thing to the new server. Anyone wanting abit of paid work, just installing koha onto a Debian 5 or 4 server? Someone who has sucessfully done it that is. Im going crazy. Spent too long trying to get this installed when i should be develling instead. Thanking you, Waylon

Oh, and by the way, this is Koha 3.0 RC 1 we are talking about here. Modifed though, but the original 3.0 RC 1 can be installled and ill just copy the changed files over... and insert the database. Then you'll have to doublecheck that its working by reindexing. ----- Original Message ---- From: Waylon Robertson <wrobertson1981(a)yahoo.co.nz> To: koha-devel <koha-devel(a)lists.koha.org>; Zebra Information Server <zebralist(a)lists.indexdata.dk> Sent: Thu, 7 January, 2010 2:40:33 PM Subject: reindex failure Could someone tell me what this means? default.idx:14: Failed to load ICU chain icu.xml spent ages trying to install Koha onto Debian 5 with little success, even though its running on Debian 5 on another server.

Looking at the zebraqueue log file I found the following: root@stliblinux1:/var/log/bbmkoha# cat koha-zebraqueue-output.log DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction at /koha/bbmkoha/bin/zebraqueue_daemon.pl line 284. DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Deadlock found when trying to get lock; try restarting transaction at /koha/bbmkoha/bin/zebraqueue_daemon.pl line 284. This may be a problem with MySQL, but I am interested to hear if this has ever been seen before. Maybe MySQL needs tweaking.

At least we are creative. We are running Koha 3.01.00.061 on Ubuntu 8.0.4. Zebra version is 2.0.43.
