Koha instal on Debian lenny
by Sébastien Hinderer 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hi, The SMS::Send that has to be installed through CPAN requires the modules Params::Util and Class::Adapter. The Params::Util module is packaged for lenn in the libparams-util-perl package. This package could hence be added to the install_misc/debian-lenny.packages file. Sébastien.

Me too. I have started to document how many times a day I have had to log in. Anything you can do to alleviate this would be appreciated.

I added a couple warns so I could see when lasttime was updated and when someone was timed out. I saw timeouts on sessions that had been active from 3 seconds to 1 hour 43 minutes prior. pianohacker suggested changing session storage from the database to the filesystem, which seems to have fixed the problem. Has anyone else seen this? I don't want to file a bug if it's just a problem with my setup.

Cannot delete patron category
by Zico 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hi, I am trying to delete the "Kid" category from my server. As we don`t need to because our library is the university library. When i go to delete "Kid" category, it shows me the error that, "Cannot Delete. This category is used 4 times". I am not sure about those users who are in "Kid" category; but, i am sure that, we don`t need them anyway. So, now, *i want to forcefully delete this "KID" category". *How can i do that? Your any kind of advice is highly appreciable. -- Best, Zico

Open Source ILS Add-ons
by Lori Ayre 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

I am preparing for a one hour webinar on Open Source ILS Add-on products. By "ILS Add-on," I mean products that extend the functionality of the ILS and wish seem to fall into three main categories: discovery interface, and metasearch. If you are using, have used or have knowledge of any of the following products, I'd be much obliged if you'd tell me a bit about your experience. Like it? Love it? Using it? Know it is dead? Know something better? You know it works with Koha/Evergreen/anything else? Thanks in advance! Discovery Interface products: SOPAC2 Blacklight Kochief Scriblio VuFind XC Metasearch: LibraryFind Pazpar2 dbWiz ILL: Relais (not quote OSS yet?) PLEIAS
