Conference on Koha for 2010 NOT KOHACON NZ
by David Schuster 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

I wanted to see what type of interest there is in another conference in the US and who would be willing to help/host/committee/present... There has been lots of discussion about other issues, but thought we should refocus our energy to helping each other. I know Chris is working on a conference in NZ - KohaCon 2010 anniversary - but many of us I know won't be able to attend. I don't want to take any thunder from that though as well... What are peoples thoughts - concerns... Some people indicated if there is no other option than NZ maybe their administration would let them go to NZ - I want to hear what people have to say.

Google transliteration for koha opac. Trouble with IE..
by Koustubha Kale 06 Oct '09

06 Oct '09

Hi all, I need a bit of help I am trying to integrate google transliteration with koha opac search box. This makes it easier to search indian language keywords for english keyboard users. I have it working with Firefox at www.granthalaya.org; but in IE I dont get the language selection box. The transliteration still works but the language selection dropdown does not appear. I cant make out anything from the error message displayed either. The error says "line: 40 char: 243 unexpected call to method or property access.Code : 0" If I use the same google transliteration code in a simple html page in IE it works. So I am doubly puzzled so as to where to look for the problem. What could it be? Can someone please have a look at the site in both IE and Firefox and suggest something?

Hi Zico, This is a (simple) saved Report that we use: SELECT location, count(barcode) , sum(replacementprice) FROM items GROUP BY location ORDER BY location asc Hope it helps.

RFC: Modification to Fines System
by Kyle Hall 01 Oct '09

01 Oct '09

Here is my problem, and my proposed solution. One of our libraries is requesting a breakdown of payments by day, by account type. That is, they want a report the gives the total amount paid for Late Fees, for Damaged Books, and for Lost Books. Apparently, they have separate money accounts for each. In Koha as it stands, there is no direct way to connect a payment to a particular accountline that was paid. The least invasive idea I have is to add a new column to accountlines ( say, accountno_paid ) for payments. Each payment would then refer to the fine or charge that it was paid against. The largest difference, is that instead of one large payment that runs down the amountoutstanding field for a number of charges, the total payment would need to be broken down into a series of smaller payments, one for each accountno paid on. For example, suppose that a borrower has 3 items with and overdue fine of $5.00 each, and the borrower is paying in full. The current version would create a payment line of $15, and then set the amountoutstanding to $0.00 for each of the 3 accountno's. The revamped system would still set the amountoutstanding to $0.00 for each accountno, but would create three separate payment lines, one for each of the 3 accountno's, and the accountno paid on would be stored in accountno_paid. I don't think this would break any existing reports or functionality. Does this sound like a reasonable solution? Or have I missed something that may solve my problem without code?

by Faisal Khaled 01 Oct '09

hello there I have developed a database using Koha. It is a great system, easy to use, powerful. I need to add a feature to the system , but I am not a programmer. I need someone to do this for me and I am willing to pay for all the work. What I want to do is this: 1-control the access to the OPAC, I want only authorize people with password to access the system . 2- I want to have a panel for adding and controlling users and create passwords for them, 3- I want to know how many time does a user access the system, 4- I have PDF files with full text articles in the database, I want to be able to know how many PDF file have been downloaded by each users. here is my email if you interested: ali(a)alshowaish.com best regard Ali _________________________________________________________________ Lauren found her dream laptop.

RFC: Modification to Fines System
by Walls, Ian 30 Sep '09

30 Sep '09

Kyle, Sounds good to me. This suggestion seems like it could have some powerful long-term potential. By modifying the system in the way you suggest, it would be possible to expand the kinds of payments patrons can make to include arbitrary services (like printing, ILL, class registration fees, etc.). In essence, Koha could act as the financial front end for any pay service patrons are offered, and the money could be properly directed to whatever account it needs to wind up in at the end of the day/week/etc. Ian Walls Systems Integration Librarian NYU Health Sciences Libraries 550 First Ave., New York, NY 10016 (212) 263-8687 -----Original Message----- From: koha-devel-bounces(a)lists.koha.org [mailto:koha-devel-bounces@lists.koha.org] On Behalf Of Kyle Hall Sent: Wednesday, September 30, 2009 10:03 AM To: koha-devel Subject: [Koha-devel] RFC: Modification to Fines System Here is my problem, and my proposed solution.

Extended Patron attributes
by Roche III, Edward 29 Sep '09

29 Sep '09

Can you have more than one extended attribute for a patron? I imported one on Weds and it worked fine, so I did another this morning it completed with no issue but when I select one of the patrons in Koha to view the data it only shows the last imported attribute and if you select edit to fix the first imported attribute there is no data list just the attribute fields. If I save the blanks it deletes the data. I did look at the borrowers attribute table and all the attributes that were imported the first time where deleted???? I guess you need to do all of them at one time? Why is that? Thanks Ed Edward J.

Does someone have a few bibs they can shoot my way which contain lots of diacriticals and are unicode encoding? Maybe something in French or Spanish for starters. I'm working toward fixing the unicode problems with labels as a back-burner project. Kind Regards, Chris
