Output.pm guesscharset, etc.
by Joshua M. Ferraro 05 Jun '07

05 Jun '07

Hi gang, I just spent a few minutes troubleshooting some encoding issues in one of my Koha installs and noticed we're still using the guessencoding and guesstype routines in Output.pm in both rel_2_2 and HEAD. I'd suggest we switch to using the encoding listed in the systempreference or else, for HEAD, just hardcode as UTF-8. I'm guessing hardcoding would be the most efficient for HEAD since 3.0 is going to be all UNICODE anyway. Any thoughts?

Re: [Koha-devel] Library network with 2.2.9, strange problem...

Okay... desktop A creates a child for the adult created at desktop A? or child for the adult created at Desktop B? When does this all happen? at the same time? One problem with koha, i recall... may be fixed now.. is that books cannot be entered in via more then one computer at a time... else the new biblionumbers and biblioitemnumbers and item numbers get mixed up.. unless you create new numbers as late as possible. Could it be that the webbrowser is given something to do? cookies? Really strange problem... ----- Original Message ---- From: Paul POULAIN <paul.poulain(a)free.fr> To: Koha-devel(a)nongnu.org Sent: Monday, 4 June, 2007 4:09:21 AM Subject: [Koha-devel] Library network with 2.2.9, strange problem... Hello koha-developpers, I have a public network (2 branches atm, 11 when all will be deployed) that are using Koha (2.2.9, with default templates, french) They face a really strange problem : desktop A creates an adult borrower, desktop B creates an adult borrower, destktop A creates a child from the previous created adult and ... the child and adult created from desktop B are mixed, everything is unuseable.

Koha Developers' IRC Meeting
by Joshua M. Ferraro 24 May '07

24 May '07

Hey gang, Well our community has grown quite a bit this year, with lots more libraries using Koha and contributing additional features. As we grow, communication becomes even more critical. Paul, HDL, Chris and think it's time for a group Developers' meeting on IRC. The main topics will likely be: 1. General developer news 2. Koha 3.0 -- what's left to do before we release? 3. Koha 2.2 -- bugfixes vs. new features 4. OpenCataloger -- a new MARC editor developed by toins and paul So, if you'd like to attend such a meeting please send me an email off-list with the best day/time in a typical week. I'll compile the answers and propose some dates.

MDID blogging
by Paul_Shannon 15 May '07

15 May '07

I have started a development blog for our library and was wondering if there is an attempt to track other blogs that are talking about using / implementing MDID? Our blog is at http://ssac.carleton.ca/dev/. The MDID stuff will all be in http://ssac.carleton.ca/dev/index.php/category/projects/mdid/ and the feed for that will be http://ssac.carleton.ca/dev/index.php/category/projects/mdid/feed I have set up the kind of thing I'm thinking about here: http://ssac.carleton.ca/koha for Koha, and was thinking we could do the same for MDID. Or, it might be as simple as having a list of blogs that talk about MDID. Perhaps here: http://mdid.org/mdidwiki/index.php?title=Relevant_Links ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Paul Shannon; BA, MLIS Assistant Coordinator, Cataloguing/Systems School for Studies in Art and Culture Carleton University 450 St. Patrick's Bldg. 1125 Colonel By Drive Ottawa, ON K1S 5B6 Tel: (613) 520-2600 x2347 Fax: (613) 520-3575 Email: paul_shannon(a)carleton.ca

Farsi/Dari translation for Koha
by Han, Yan 10 May '07

10 May '07

We almost completed the koha interface into Farsi/Dari. see http://kohadev.library.arizona.edu/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl Server Env.: Koha is running on Linux RedHat 4, MySQL 4.2, and Apache 2. Translation Env.: Windows XP + Farsi input method Here is what we have to do 1. I copies npl directory under opac-tmpl into a new folder afghan 2. change charset=ISO-8859-1 to charset=utf-8 for all the files (.inc) 3. change to "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="fa" />" 4. system parameter setup. change opac theme to afghan (see no.1) 5. during translation, I have to use two editors 5a. I use seamonkey so that I can have my student enter Farsi/Dari in Windows 5b. I then use UltraEdit to copy the code for these Farsi/Dari characters. Discussion: a) I did try to use seamonkey for editing, but it does not work. Seamonkey reformatted some of the Perl tmpl files, and substitue automatically some tags in URL encoded method. (for example, %3c ==> < , %21 ==> ! , %20 ==>[space]). However, Seamonkey allows to enter farsi in its interface. b) I also try to use UltraEdit for editing, but it could not do the job because my student cannot enter Farsi/Dari in UltraEdit current interface. Using the interface, the Farsi/Dari characters are entered from left-to-right, which is not correct. I contacted UltraEdit support and at this moment, it does not switch the mode (in English "left-to-right" to Farsi's "Right-to-Left"). It seems that we cannot have beauty of both editors. Note: in Word, there is an option that you can switch the mode from "Left-to-Right" to "Right-to-Left". We also tried other editors in Windows such as Wordpad, Textpad. I did not use Linux editors (e.g. emacs) because I am not aware of Farsi input method in Linux env. c) Maybe there is a better editor that can make it easier for the translator, but so far I did not find it.

New feature in HEAD : RSS feeds
by Paul POULAIN 09 May '07

09 May '07

Hello world, I just commited a few minuts ago a new feature on HEAD : RSS on OPAC. They differ a lot from 2.2 RSS on the following functionnalities : - they are automatic (nothing to change in Koha code) - they are automatically builded from a query, a given one can put a RSS feed on any query, not only on the Recently acquired items. - the RDF file is builded and cached automatically on the server to save CPU. Tests & comments welcomed : just update your CVS head copy, and on each query result, the rss logo should magically appear, pointing to the RSS feed. -- Paul POULAIN et Henri Damien LAURENT Consultants indépendants en logiciels libres et bibliothéconomie (http://www.koha-fr.org) Tel : 04 91 31 45 19
