binmode in pler scripts for utf-8 support
by Rick Welykochy 29 Dec '08

29 Dec '08

Hi all, I ran across this bit of randomness today: binmode STDOUT, ":utf8"; It occurs in only three perl scripts in Koha: ./circ/ysearch.pl ./misc/sax_parser_test.pl ./reports/guided_reports.pl Should this binmode setting be executed in all of our perl scripts to provide correct utf-8 support? If not, why not? cheers rickw -- _________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services We are ready for any unforeseen event that may or may not occur. -- Al Gore, Vice President

Koha patrons area config
by mikyas hailu 26 Dec '08

26 Dec '08

Hi All, I am assistant librarian in haramya university, Ethiopia. We are currently using koha 2.2.9 on windows. The cataloging module including the MARC works fine for me But I have problem in adding new patrons... It properly validates the data (Mailing Address,Last Name...) but it does not really hold the patrons information. Is there anything I need to change in memberentry.pl or which the koha table ... Thank you for your kind support!!!!!

Supporting Modules - Version Requirements?
by Stan Brinkerhoff 22 Dec '08

22 Dec '08

I have been updating the Ubuntu 8.04 install guide on the Wiki for Koha to make it more thorough and accurate. I was able to install almost every Perl module required for Koha from apt, however there are quite a few instances where Koha requires a slightly newer version: [Mon Dec 22 12:21:24 2008] Makefile.PL: Warning: prerequisite Class::Factory::Util 1.6 not found.

Integrating KOHA with an SIS
by kabir 22 Dec '08

22 Dec '08

hello, We developed a Student Information System on the LAMP platform( Linux Apache MySql PHP ) and would like to integrate Koha as the library management system into it. The level of integration we desire is as follows -Single sign on -From our SIS application, we would like to use API's to extract the data out of Koha regarding the book issue status and the history( how many books pending, with details, history of book issuance, etc ) -Clicking on the Library link in our application does a silent login into the Koha system and takes the user to his/her Koha page via the OPAC interface. Please can someone point me to the correct people/resources on the internet which would be helpful to get started with this integration. I am specifically looking for people who may have been involved in similar projects before or documentation that provides information on integrating Koha with other systems. thanks kabir...

webinstaller fails on 2nd screen for "es-ES" locale
by Krishnan M 20 Dec '08

20 Dec '08

Hello, i am trying a Koha 3 install on Ubuntu Hardy, and completed the regular installation steps. Once i login to the webinstaller and choose "es-ES" as the locale, the next screen is blank. To investigate further, i tried: choosing a regular "en" locale on the first screen, the second screen comes up fine with "All dependencies installed" and a 'next button. This also works with another arbitrary locale such as "ar-Arab" What could be the issue here? regards, krishnan Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy! Go to http://messenger.yahoo.com/invite/
