Hello, I created a koha library on a my computer but i want to put it on another computer and someone told me to simply " dump your MySQL database on the old computer and load it on to the new one. If you install Koha on the new computer and point it and the database you have just loaded, everything will work fine. " i tried this but it didn't work. after i installed MySQL i dumped my old MYSql folder where the new one was and then i installed Koha but it didn't work as it says there is a already a koha records. can someone help me? just incase i didn't do it right how do i point koha to the Mysql database correctly? Hopefully, Linh

Barcode Not Found
by Roche III, Edward 25 Jun '09

25 Jun '09

Good afternoon all. Brief History for that have not seen my other posts. We are trying to migrate to Koha from Follett, when biblio info is exported from Follett the barcodes have zeros add in place of a space, T 12345 comes out as T0012345. I updated my records and re-import the barcode field and but when I try to check out a book it tells me barcode not found. I have be trying some different thing with Mike Hafen. We have come to find that Koha is reading the barcode correctly but just isn't finding it in the DB. We have found that the DB is pretty much set to latin1 as the character set but when I created the DB I select UTF-8 and I also converted the export data from Follett to UTF-8. Do I need to change the char set for the whole MySQL or is that a non-issue. I really have like this product but out librarians have said they will not re-barcode because on average they have 16k+ items that they would have to change. I am at wits end with this issue and I would hate to be able to use Koha because it is everything we want except for this issue. If anyone has seen this before please let me know your thoughts. Thanks Ed Edward J. Roche Network Administrator Solanco School District 717.786.2151 x2437 "At the End of the Day, Did You Play to Win or Not to Lose?"

Adding a "Skip to content" link to the staff client pages ?
by Sébastien Hinderer 25 Jun '09

25 Jun '09

Dear Koha developers, I'd be interested in making Koha's staff client more accessible. One feature that would help is the "Skip to content" links that many of you probably know. I wonder whether you would be interested by such a feature and, if you are, how you think it could be implemented. One possibility would be to add a link in the header.inc file. However, there does not seem to be a target that would work for all the pages, so one may have to add one on purpose. It's probably a lot of work, since there are, if my counts are correct, 361 pages for the staff client. However a lot of them are for the help part, so maybe there is some uniformity among them that may help. Also, if the community is interested in such a feature, once it has been discussed how to implement it, the work can probably be shared among several persons. Of course I'm willing to be part of the team, if needed. Best wishes to all and thanks for the excellent job your guys are doing. Sébastien.

Multiple installs of Koha on same server
by Chadwick, John, DCA 22 Jun '09

22 Jun '09

I need a bit of a sanity check here before I get going and find myself in too much trouble. I would like to have 2 installations of koha on the same server. This would require two koha databases and two koha web directories. I would be doing some virtual hosting to accomplish this. Do I need two installations of zebra?

Koha 3.0 + cannot add item in koha
by Zico 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

Hi, I cannot add items in my koha server. The full process is like this: Step 1: I have uploaded a marc file --> done Step 2: I have "import into catalog" --> done *Step 3: Now, if i search this item by Author or Title or ISBN, my server cannot find that one. That means, searching is not working here. So, the result is, i cannot "ADD ITEM" from here.* -- Best, Zico

why standard install mode ?
by Marc Chantreux 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

hello guys, as i'm writting the install procedure for macports, i try to understand why th 'STANDARD' install mode exists. I never used it since i discovered the dev mode that provides simple system to update and rollback. So my documentation will refer to this strategy but i'm afraid to drive some koha users on a bad way. i really appreciate the ideas and feedbacks of all of you to know why you use the 'STANDARD' mode. regards -- Marc Chantreux BibLibre, expert en logiciels libres pour l'info-doc http://biblibre.com

Entering Enhancements and reviewing them
by David Schuster 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

I have documented the process of adding an enhancement discussed at KohaCon09. It can be found at: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=instructions&s[]=enhancement If you have things that you are sponsoring if you would follow these instructions so that we all can find your sponsorships! I am also looking for people who would be willing to review the existing 288 "enhancements" to determine if they are all still needed. This would comprise reviewing the request - possibly contacting the originator for clarification, and updating the "Enhancement" request. I see this as a group effort of people currently using the system - maybe 10 people on the committee to start with. I have a blog that I was thinking I would post the numbers to be reviewed and commented on and we would look at 20 a week or so to get all the enhancements up to date. We could maybe post them directly to the list to show interest. I've leave that up to the committee to decide how they want to operate. I'm open to helping, but need HELP! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Entering-Enhancements-and-reviewing-them-tp24042310p2… Sent from the Koha - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
