New module dependency: IPC::Cmd
by Galen Charlton 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Hi, For those tracking HEAD, please note that I've pushed a patch requiring a new dependency on IPC::Cmd. As this module is used by the web installer, the database update script will not work until you've installed the dependency. IPC::Cmd is one of several modules on CPAN that support easily executing a program and capturing its return status, standard error, and standard output. It is a core module in Perl 5.10, meaning that users of that version of Perl already have it, but will need to be added by users of 5.8, typically by running $ sudo cpan IPC::Cmd I've filed a request to have this module packaged on Debian for Perl 5.8 users. Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton gmcharlt(a)gmail.com

Search authorities using keywords from same menu as keyword search
by Mizanowski, Tomasz 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Can consideration please be given to- 1. adding a system preference to enable authorities to be searched by patrons using the same drop down list as for keyword searches as opposed to the separate authorities search box. An option to make the separate authorities search box available for patrons to search should be retained. 2. adding a system preference to allow authority records to come up in results to help patrons find what they are looking for. A "more information" link or picture could appear next to the record instead of the usual "item type" picture so patrons can click on it to get further information using the authority record.

Re: [Koha-devel] Configuring LDAP with Koha
by Sai bhalaji Dhinakaran 31 Jul '09

Hi, Go to the file Auth_with_ldap.pm located in: /usr/share/koha/lib/C4 and change the following lines of code: my $userldapentry = $search->shift_entry; my $cmpmesg = $db->compare( $userldapentry, attr=>'userpassword', value => $password ); if ($cmpmesg->code != 6) { warn "LDAP Auth rejected : invalid password for user '$userid'. " . description($cmpmesg); return 0; } To this: my $userldapentry = $search->shift_entry; my $dbuser = Net::LDAP->new( [$prefhost] ); $res = $dbuser->bind( $userldapentry, password => $password ); unless ( $db && ! $res->code ) { warn "LDAP Auth rejected : invalid password for user '$userid'"; return 0; } Also, you need to configure the koha_conf.xml file which is in /etc/ Steps to configure are available in: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:ldap I worked for us on ADS LDAP Server.

Hi, A new mailing list has been created for recording commits pushed to the main public Koha Git repository. Postings to this list are generated automatically by a post-receive hook whenever changes are pushed to any branch of the repository. This list is intended for read-only use; to discuss any commits, please use koha-devel or koha-patches. To subscribe to the list, please visit http://lists.koha.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-commits In the next day or two, current subscribers to koha-cvs will be moved to koha-commits and koha-cvs will be shut down for new messages. Thanks to Nahuel for creating the list and to BibLibre for hosting it. Regards, Galen Charlton Koha 3.2 RM gmcharlt(a)gmail.com
