question/problem with date
by Paul POULAIN 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

Hello, It seems that the C4::Dates::format_date function, has a small problem : if the incoming date is 0000-00-00, then the result is : 02/00/0, which is not really a date. I think we should get a '' (nothing) in this case. I tried to understand why this happend, but could not understand. Do you think it's a bug ? -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : 04 91 31 45 19

Table sorting and articles
by Owen Leonard 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

I've been adding a javascript-based table sorter to many tables in the 3.0 staff client and OPAC. It's a jquery plugin (http://tablesorter.com) and allows one to set custom parsers for dealing with specialized kinds of data. I implemented a special parser for English-language articles, so that titles could be ordered correctly while ignoring "a," "an," and "the." $.tablesorter.addParser({ id: 'articles', is: function(s) {return false; }, format: function(s) { return s.toLowerCase().replace(/^(the|an|a) /,''); }, type: 'text' }); I'm hoping the same can be done for other languages by implementing a system preference that contains the articles ("the|an|a") in the script above. I'm a little concerned about how well Javascript will handle non-English or non-Western characters, but I don't have the right data to test. Some searching turned up the statement, "The default sort algorithm in JavaScript is based purely on the Unicode code point." Which would indicate that as long as Unicode orders things correctly JavaScript will too. I'm not sure this is the case. I'd like to get some feedback. Does this sound workable for other languages? Can anyone run some tests with some "exotic" data? Thanks, Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

Re: [Koha-devel] migrate from Koha-2.9 to koha-3-Beta

Hi Roxana... and everyone else! :) On Mon, Mar 31, 2008, Roxana Luz Fleipaz <roxanaluz(a)gmail.com> wrote: > One of you can help me to migrate from Koha-2.9 to koha-3-Beta I think that you mean Koha 2.2.9 (and not Koha 2.9). There is a tutorial in the Koha Developer Wiki - http://wiki.koha.org - that walks through the migration process from Koha 2.2 to Koha 3.0. That tutorial (HOWTO / guide...) is located at: Upgrading from Koha 2.2 to Koha 3.0 http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=22_to_30 I have NOT tried to follow those instructions yet, but I will probably have to do it later on: I have a development environment running Koha 2.2.8 and a production environment running Koha 2.2.9, which will need to be migrated. > The operating system I use is Red Hat Enterprice 5 licensed. Well, my development environment does run a RHEL (Red Hat Enterprise Linux) "clone"/rebuild distribution, but it's a clone of RHEL version 4 (not 5). Besides, that machine will probably be discontinued or "migrated" to openSUSE 10.3 (or SLES 10 - SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10). Best wishes, Ricardo Dias Marques lists AT ricmarques DOT net

very nerdish geek onto the lazy git
by Ignacio Javier 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

Hi all: I'm trying to undo changes I've made on a lot (70) files in my kohaclone directory, so trash them and revert all since the last commit I've made to the origin branch, anyone has idea how using a git command or commands sequence? I've tried a: git fetch git rebase --continue origin but a *more or less lot* of messages appear: ...pl: needs update Etc... So I wanted to understand this error without being neither Linus Torvalds neither Junio Hamano, then I did notice was impossible. Have anyone idea of a alternative psicology for the problem, (...so I need only the command line... ;-)? I'll give a thanks in atomic unicode to the person who solves this.

Re: [Koha-devel] correct version of the Net::Z3950

In general, look for the lines like 'Net::Z3950::ZOOM' => 1.16, to find what version of a perl module was (should have been) tested. Non-perl software like YAZ is a little harder. I've servers running with both yaz 3.0.16 and yaz 3.0.18, although I'm having some problems with 3.0.18 indexing SERs which I'm currently tracking down. > Change S.O. To Centos.

Z39.50 servers and encodings
by MJ Ray 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

What are possible values from libserver:8080/cgi-bin/koha/admin/z3950servers.pl?op=add_form&searchfield=UNIVERSITY%20OF%20YORK should I add a new one and how do I add a new one? z3950://libcat0.york.ac.uk:9991/YOR01 appears to be sending me ISO-8859-1 which C4::Charset::MarcToUTF8Record fails to decode because it's calling Encode::decode('UTF-8', ...) in there. What's the Right Way to fix this?

Q: DebugLevel=2 and version list; do we want backtraces?
by MJ Ray 26 Mar '08

26 Mar '08

Hi all. Is anyone else with DebugLevel 2 (which I think is the default) in their system preferences seeing a list of versions when Koha errors? There's code for it in C4::Context but it doesn't seem to work for me. Is C4::Context->preferences() really accessible from handle_errors like that? I've copied the backtrace snippet from mod_perl_startup.pl on http://www.gluelogic.com/code/BitTorrent/ into my C4::Context and control it from koha-httpd.conf with a SetEnv KOHA_BACKTRACES line. Do we want backtraces like that? I think KOHA_BACKTRACES may be better than DebugLevel because then we still get them if the database is unreachable.
