CSS errors
by Rick Welykochy 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

Hi all I am fiddling with some CSS and DOM stuff in Koha and thus have the Error Console window opened in Firefox. As was discussed earlier on this list, excessive error and debug messages in the Apache error_log files make them almost unreadable. The same applies in the case of the CSS. There are so many errors in the CSS, as detected by Firefox, that it is difficult to scan through the lot looking for things I myself might have caused. Also, I get an uneasy feeling that the CSS is broken in places due to these errors and might be causing the problems I am having getting my additions to the CSS to work. Try it! Do a catalogue search in the staff area and bring up the Error Console window. You'll see what I am talking about. cheers rickw -- _________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services Tis the dream of each programmer before his life is done, To write three lines of APL and make the damn thing run.

PDF patron card scaling setting
by MJ Ray 18 Nov '08

18 Nov '08

A librarian has suggested to me that we should set the scaling in the PDF to stop Acrobat Reader and some other readers from making a mess of the carefully-measured offsets and margins. I didn't see any way in PDF::Reuse to do that - is it possible? I wondered if it's some Acrobat extension to PDF (sigh) or something like that.

April 16-17th I'm looking to Host a Koha inovations and sharing group here in the US. - Plano Texas would be the place. This is a reserved date - more info to come. This 2 day workshop would have lab access and presentation space. There would be a charge to cover lunch both days and other misc expenses. Any leftover money would be given to the KUDOS users group as seed money. I'm anticipating the cost right at $100. You would be responsible for getting here and your hotel and other travel expenses. If you would be interested in attending, presenting or sharing - something that you have done along with sitting in and learning about what other users and what the developers are working on let me know! dschust1(a)tx.rr.com David Schuster Plano Texas going live Jan 5th, 2009 as a LibLime customer! - this is open to all koha users and those interested. More information on the schedule to come after I figure out interest.

Re: [Koha-devel] [Koha] Wrong SAX Parser - does it matter? -> impact on Debian packaging

Is this setup really still required ? Were not the bugs from the expat filter fixed ? I do not know at all why this parser is/was needed, but Expact seems to work for the test case in koha scripts : vdanjean koha/misc$ ./sax_parser_print.pl XML::SAX::Expat=HASH(0x115c4f0) vdanjean koha/misc$ ./sax_parser_test.pl é vdanjean koha/misc ) By the way, this kind of requirement is really a bad thing (with my hat of trying to make a official Debian package) => it will be NOT possible at all that the koha package modifies the global configuration file. However, I really do not understand why, if the SAX parser is really needed, it is not required in the koha code itself. For example, I tried to add as the first line in sax_parser_print.pl and sax_parser_test.pl the line: $XML::SAX::ParserPackage = "XML::LibXML::SAX"; (tip found in the doc of XML::SAX::ParserFactory) Without changing my global configuration file, sax_parser_print.pl now report XML::LibXML::SAX. I failed to see where koha really instantiate a sax parser. 'rgrep "use XML::SAX" koha/' does not return anything (but sax_parser_print.pl and sax_parser_test.pl). Perhaps, koha gurus can know where SAX parser are used and add the line requesting the particular parser if it is still needed ?

The authnotrequired flag in scripts
by Rick Welykochy 14 Nov '08

14 Nov '08

Hi all I am about to lock down a client Koha site so that users *MUST* be logged in to access any page. In Koha/2.2.9 this was straightforward: vi `grep -rl "authnotrequired => 1" /usr/local/koha/` and change each "authnotrequired => 1" to "authnotrequired => 0" It appears that things are not to simple in K3. There appears to be error handling and other scripts where this flag must remain as "authnotrequired => 1", e.g. 400.pl, abort.pl. I am in the process of writing a simple shell script to make this change globally to an installed instance of K3, but would like to avoid changing this flag where it should be left alone. Can anyone come up with a list of the perl scripts in the two cgi-bin directories where this flag MUST remain set to one? thanks rickw -- ________________________________________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services || Internet Driving Instructor When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace. -- Jimi Hendrix
