value builders, spaces in window names
by Ignacio Javier 02 Jan '08

02 Jan '08

Hi all: Seems that due to a restriction in "not standard DHTML javascript window object open method argument values" could exist (and in fact exists (*) in some internet explorer versions, my 7.0.5730.13), an "informal behaviour" that avoids opening of MARC assistants in Internet Explorer (those that commonly open when clicking in underlined text '...' links at http://.../cgi-bin/koha/cataloguing/addbiblio.pl, for example). In order to be let's say "more than concise but less than exhaustive" , this is from mozilla developer site, window open: (...) strWindowName This is the string that just names the new window. Such string can be used to be the target of links and forms when the target attribute of an <a> element or of a <form> is specified. This string parameter should not contain any blank space. strWindowName does not specify the title of the new window. (...) http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:window.open#Return_value_and_parame ters ..."should not contain any blank spaces" seems to be a **must not...** in IE7 This is the list of files and

updates to koha3 nozebra search indexing for MARC21
by Mason James 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

Hi koha-devel people, Ive been updating the marc index mapping for koha3-nozebra. The French team did a nice job on the UNIMARC stuff and ive had a go at padding out the currently pretty minimal MARC21 mapping. FYI: the *'s are wildcards, so, subject = '600*' means all 600 level subfields are used, when doing a 'subject' search any obvious errors or suggestions? thd, how does this look to your sharp arnd eagle-like gaze? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------- 'title' => '210a,222a,240a,243a,245a,245b,246a,246b,247a,247b,250a, 250b,440a', 'author' => '100a,110a,245c,600a,610a,611a,700a710a,711a,800a,810a, 811a', 'isbn' => '020a', 'issn' => '022a', 'lccn' => '010a', 'biblionumber => '999c', 'itemtype' => '942c', 'publisher' => '260b', 'date' => '260c', 'note' => '500a, 501a,504a,505a,508a,511a,518a,520a,521a,522a,524a, 526a,530a,533a,538a,541a,546a,555a,556a,562a,563a,583a,585a,582a', 'subject' => '600*,610*,611*,630*,650*,651*,653*,654*,655*,662*,690*', 'dewey' => '082', 'bc' => '952p', 'host-item' => '952a,952c' ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------- Cheers, Mason -- Mason James mason.james(a)liblime.com Programmer www.liblime.com LibLime +64 21 542 117

C4 and date formats
by Ryan Higgins 21 Dec '07

21 Dec '07

Hey folks Just looking for a quick consensus on passing dates to C4 modules. Some expect iso, some expect local format. memberentry.pl is currently not working because the date is double iso'ed... I suggest the coding guideline that scripts maintain the date in local syspref-defined format, and that all public methods in C4::* should expect dates to be passed in local format. So format_date_in_iso should be rare at the script level. comments ? -- Ryan Higgins LibLime * Open-Source Solutions for Libraries Featuring KohaZOOM ILS 888-564-2457 x704

Both sites are routinely unavailable from this part of the world (europe). This is quite annoying (git.koha.org is, however, always up). Best, Daniel

Error message from bulkmarcimport.pl
by Bradley Peters 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hello, I was poking around the installation of koha that I made using the tarball linked earlier by Galen Charlton. Once I got the install done and entered some settings I tried to use the bulkmarcimport.pl command. Which failed with the following message: Undefined subroutine &main::GetMarcFromKohaField called at ./bulkmarcimport.pl line 219. I haven't figured out how to setup the Zebra index yet because the examples I've looked at so far all refer to there being records, but I don't have any yet. I was hoping that maybe running this command would give me some useful hints. Regards, Bradley Peters

RFC - installer changes
by Galen Charlton 18 Dec '07

18 Dec '07

Hi, I have made a number of changes to the installer and now have a version ready for general review. My git branch and the results can be accessed as follows: git repo: http://manage-gmc.dev.kohalibrary.com/koha-installer.git gitweb: http://manage-gmc.dev.kohalibrary.com/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=koha-installer.g… Tarball with the revised installer: http://manage-gmc.dev.kohalibrary.com/koha-3.00.00.032.tar.gz Changes include: * Prompting for more configuration information during perl Makefile.PL * Introduction of three installation modes: ** 'standard': typical install as root ** 'single': install everything under one subdirectory; meant for users who do not have root on their host but are allowed to install software. ** 'dev': run as much as possible from a git checkout * Improved conformance with FHS and Debian web application guidelines, particular in 'standard' mode. * Improved support for specifying where each logical installation target should go. * Replaced glob with a directory walk to identify files to be installed (thanks fbcit!). * Separation of Zebra configuration and data files in 'standard' mode. * Adjustment of Zebra configuration file layout. All Zebra config files in the Koha package are now installed and are available for use; the installer now simply sets profilePath to control which MARC and language options are in effect. * During 'standard' install, ownership of Koha's files can now be assigned to a non-root user (which should be different from the httpd user, of course). This allows most Koha server-side administration and web design tasks to be done without requiring root access. * Files are now installed with u+w. * By default the C4 Perl modules are bundled with the rest of Koha's files. * 'make test' now enabled * 'make' now just stages files in blib; nothing is actually installed until you do 'make install' * general bugfixes I should emphasize that by default the C4 modules are installed along with the rest of the Koha files, e.g. in /usr/share/koha/lib. They are not installed in any of the standard Perl module directories, although a packager could choose to put them there by setting PERL_MODULE_DIR when running perl Makefile.PL. As a consequence, this means that by default use of the PERL5LIB environment variable is necessary; 'make install' now prints a message suggesting the the user set KOHA_CONF and PERL5LIB in their profile. The default koha-httpd.conf now includes both of these variables. My main reason for doing this by default is that the C4 modules have at present no independent use outside of supporting Koha's CGI scripts and are intimately tied to the version of those scripts. Putting them in the default @INC will risk problems for users who need to run multiple versions of Koha on a box. Requiring use of PERL5LIB is not perfect, but it should be noted that we already have one required environment variable in the form of KOHA_CONF. If it is thought that this would cause too many problems, I would consider use of FindBin and use lib along with using rewrite-config.PL to set the correct module path in the command-line scripts. Related to this, I think it will be useful to consider specifying the version number when doing 'use C4::*' from the scripts, and possibly consider use of the 'only' pragma [1]. I would like to request that interested developers and users test the installer and provide feedback, debate, flames, etc. to koha-devel. My testing was done solely on Debian Etch, by the way. Also, please note that my repository was cloned from HEAD almost two weeks ago and I have not yet merged in current work, so please bear that in mind. Thanks to Henri-Damien Laurent, Chris Nighswonger, and Chris Cormack for contributing patches so far, and thanks to MJ Ray for creating the current installer on which my work was based.

Cannot search catalog
by Bünzli Daniel 14 Dec '07

14 Dec '07

Hello, I managed to import some records using bulkmarcimport. But when I try to search the catalog I get the following error (even though I did specify a search criteria). > No results found > You did not specify any search criteria. > > Error: Can't call method "size" on an undefined value at / > Applications/MAMP/htdocs/koha/lib/C4/Search.pm line 405. Any hint on what may be wrong ? This is on the latest master tree (with Galen's installer changes). Thanks for your answers, Daniel

Re: [Koha-devel] Internationalising Koha frameworks
by Thomas Dukleth 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

If you have any language specific or MARC variant specific Koha frameworks for sharing so that others may benefit from your frameworks in forthcoming Koha 3.0, the frameworks export script is now ready for multiple operating systems. Obtain the latest version of the Koha 2.2.X MARC Frameworks Export Script for your operating system. The export script should function from any system with mysqldump and access to the database as the Koha user given in koha.conf . The only essential requirement is having mysqldump included in the system $PATH when running the script. [A possible later version may allow specifying the path to mysqldump as a user option if someone thinks that is needed.] Koha does not need to be installed on the system running the script nor does it even need Perl. 2.1. OPERATING SYSTEM SPECIFIC SCRIPT VARIANTS. 2.1.2. UNIX BASED VERSION. For Unix based systems (Unix, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, etc.) download the latest version of export_framework.sh. http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewvc/koha/misc/export_frameworks.sh?view=l… For installation requirements type: export_frameworks.sh -? i For help type: export_frameworks.sh -? For usage examples type: export_frameworks.sh -? e 2.1.2. MICROSOFT WINDOWS VERSION. For Microsoft Windows systems (Unix, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, etc.) download the latest version of export_framework.bat for use as a script run from the command line console. http://cvs.savannah.nongnu.org/viewvc/koha/misc/export_frameworks.bat?view=… For installation requirements type: export_frameworks.bat -? i The installation requirements message explains how to obtain and install the bsdtar for Win32 dependency which is not needed for the Unix version of the script. For help type: export_frameworks.bat -? For usage examples type: export_frameworks.bat -? e 2.2. FINAL INSTRUCTIONS. Upon completion, after a few seconds, the script gives a specific message about where to send an email with the exported frameworks file attached so that it may be edited for inclusion as part of Koha 3.0 to share with everyone. If anything goes wrong, an appropriate error message is displayed. Please contact me on or off list if you have any questions or need assistance using the script.

I downloaded the tarball, and used the single installation method. The computer I tested on is running Ubuntu 7.10. The command line portion of the installer appeared to work very well. When I got to the web portion I wasn't sure which username to use as there were 2 in the commandline portion. The one I tried first (kohauser) was the wrong one. Further along at step 3, the installer said it had all the required privileges on the database but on the next screen I got the following error message. ERROR 1142 (42000) at line 22: DROP command denied to user 'kohaadmin'@'localhost' for table 'accountlines' Sincerley, Bradley Peters
