Searching not working in OPAC of Koha-3.0
by Zico 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

Hi, I am able to search in Staff Client in my Koha 3.0, which is running under Debian 5.0. But, my searching shows "nothing found" in OPAC. After facing this problem, i stopped my Zebra server by "NoZebra", but, yet, nothing changed. Again, i can login there in OPAC, but no searching. And, i can login & search in Staff client. -- Best, Zico

Serials Question - New Field
by Nicole Engard 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

I have updated my install of Koha with the latest patches and see a new field I didn't see explained. Can someone tell me what I'm supposed to put in the 'Location' field? I'm updating the manual and just want to make sure I write it all up right. --- Nicole C.

Koha Virtual Appliances
by Kyle Hall 28 May '09

28 May '09

Hey all, I have finished uploading a new set of Koha virtual appliances. Each version is available in VirtualBox or VMWare formats, and in configured and unconfigured states. At the moment, there are versions for the 3.01 official release, and versions for 3.01.00.032, which was the latest from git.koha.org at the time it was created. The url is http://kylehall.info/index.php/projects/koha/koha-virtual-appliance/ . I created a login for koha.org ( kylemhall ), but I do not know how to edit or add new pages. If anyone wants to put a page on koha.org for the virtual appliances, you have my permission to use/modify the text from my own site however you wish. These version also have the curses based front end, kohamc, which I mentioned. In the vm's, it's the shell for the root account. The version in the 3.01 release is newer. I am very interested in getting feedback about it. I think it would be great to expand this app to allow it to run rebuild_zebra with whatever options a person might want, and any other koha related activities that require cli work. Let me know what you think. I forgot to add the GPL to the top, so I hereby release the code to kohamc under the GPL v2. If anyone here is familiar with perl/curses, is there a way to allow the script to temporarily drop to a bash session, then return when a user types exit?

Checkout 3.1 from Git
by Kyle Hall 26 May '09

26 May '09

Hey All, I'm in the process of uploading a set of latest version Koha vm's. I'll let you know when they are available. What I'd like to know is if there is a way to check out the released 3.1 via git. I see there are tags such as v3.00.01-stable_update but as far as I can google, there is no way to check out a tag. Does anyone have any advice. One of the reason for this is I have written a perl/curses based management console to make using the Koha vm even easier. Before, you had to log in and find your ip via ifconfig. Now when you log in as root, you are presented with a management interface that will tell you what version of Koha you are running, what your ip is, and allow updating via git, restarting apache, and restarting the zebra daemons all from a menu system. It's still a work in progress. I'd like to add even more control to it eventually. If I don't install Koha 3.1 via git, the update command will break. So, does anyone know how I can pull Koha 3.1 from git?

Koha events
by Andrei V. Toutoukine 26 May '09

26 May '09

Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone ever wanted events in Koha? Events may be like onpatronremove, onbibliosave, onbiblionew etc... For example if one wants to check spelling and marc-correctness of the record before it is saved to the database one could put either 'default' or home-made perl script to a special place like $KOHA/events/scripts/ and make links to these scripts from $KOHA/events/onbibliosave/ folder. Every time koha saves a biblio it calls scripts from $KOHA/events/onbibliosave/ in default order provided by fs passing there all the information on biblio available at the moment. Events may be used for statistics, checks, adding some automatically and dynamically calculated defaults... Probably some WUI would be nice but I can't see it's implementation right now. Everyone is welcome to the discussion!

Suggestion: Mysql backup from Koha
by Vimal Kumar 26 May '09

26 May '09

Dear Koha Developers, Here is a suggestion for coming Koha release. Librarians need a user friendly interface to export Koha Mysql database for back up purpose. This feature will reduce the difficulties of daily backup using manual methods (using commands). PMB open source ILS added this feature successfully. With thanks, -- Vimal Kumar V. Asst.

Hi all, In case anyone is interested - we can improve Zotero integration in Koha by working with the guys at Zotero. Read more here: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/2897/url-field-not-filled-in-from-opacs/ I look a look at the code, but I don't know enough to help out with this yet. --- Nicole C.

Problem with Editing of Bibliographic Records
by zang＠zang.co.za 23 May '09

23 May '09

We have a problem with the editing of Bibliographic Records. When clicking on Edit record an additional (empty) author field and title field are added. The record can then not be saved if this fields stay empty. Is this a known issue? We have done an upgrade about 2 months ago. I suspect the problem was introduced with the upgrade. Thanks

Russian and Ukrainian installer SQL scripts in master branch
by Galen Charlton 21 May '09

21 May '09

Hi, In an effort to keep the installer localizations synchronized between 3.0.x and HEAD, I have cherry-picked the Russian and Ukrainian installer SQL scripts from 3.0.x to master and applied Andrei's recent patches. The Russian SQL scripts now load without error, although the Ukrainian ones currently have some breakage. Also, at the moment the ru-RU and uk-UA system preferences are not completely synchronized with the current set of 3.2 sysprefs.
