Making PDF::API2 optional (barcodes)
by MJ Ray 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

In koha 2.2.1, the module PDF::API2 is mandatory. The release notes in the 2.1 series said that this module would be made optional. It appears only to be used by C4::Barcodes::PrinterConfig and some scripts in koha-cgi/barcodes, so what's the best way of making this optional? If anyone knows a general way of making these optional, we could probably make the LDAP authenticator a bit easy to install too. Is it time for plugins? -- MJR/slef http://www.ttllp.co.uk/koha/

Field Display now Dynamically Updated in 2.2?
by Bruffey, Mark 23 Feb '05

23 Feb '05

Hi! Although Stephen's fine migration doc indicates that field mappings should be made prior to MARC record import, it appears that this is no longer necessary. Am I correct in this idea? For instance, I enabled field 852p, which is the location of our barcode, and it appeared instantly in the MARC cataloging interface. Also, if the patron selects "complete" it appears that it will "instantly" show up there, too. Am I correct? Thanks, Mark L.

Thre're missing timezones in Date::manip, please make a proper fix and contribute int back to the author of the module. I did this with my timezone (UYT) and the author quietly added my fix to the module. This we'll all benefit, working in the true spirit of free software.

Koha 2.2.0 (officially stable) is for tomorrow morning...
by Paul POULAIN 11 Feb '05

11 Feb '05

Unless otherwise stated, Koha 2.2.0 will be release tomorrow morning. I've tested installer, upgrade from Koha 2.0.2, both works fine. I've no news from es_AR and zh_TW translations, so the 2.2.0 will be released with french and english only. The 2.2.1 will be released when more translations will be OK. Nelsonville : is the NPL template fully functionnal in CVS ? Can I mention it in the release notes ? It's dinner time for me. No champagne, but a virtual bottle for tomorow morning (Maybe we could organize a virtual drink at, say, 2000GMT) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

New document on kohadocs.org
by Stephen Hedges 10 Feb '05

10 Feb '05

I've loaded a new document -- "Koha Architectural Study" by Nicholas Rosasco and Erik Bakke. It's available in either Docbook XML or HTML. There's also a rudimentary PDF version, generated from the original OpenOffice document, but the graphics are pretty poor. Does anyone know of a good, free tool for converting Docbook XML (or HTML) to PDF -- one that can handle images? -- Stephen Hedges Skemotah Solutions, USA www.skemotah.com -- shedges(a)skemotah.com

OPAC Display Questions
by Bruffey, Mark 09 Feb '05

09 Feb '05

More questions . . . . Having read the documents I have found to be available, I'm still unsure of how to get the OPAC to display what I want in "simple" view. For instance, how do I get the OPAC to display our local call number (which is compiled from our fields 852 h,i,m,k,and t), without requiring the user to go into "Complete" view? Also, our "item types" field is 852 $6. How do I map that so that KOHA sees it properly? Sorry for these perhaps simple questions, but I need a little more assistance, if possible. BTW, you should be able to view the OPAC at 64.65.164.254:81. Sincere thanks, Mark L.

Some doubts about issuing rules
by Andrés Tarallo 08 Feb '05

08 Feb '05

In our library we have a situation that we don't fid how to represent it with the current schema of issuing rules, maybe you can give us an idea. For every biblio we purchase we give a special treatment for the first item of that kind we purchase. That items are labeled different and their a called "room only items" (ejemplares de sala, in spanish). This books are only borrowed in house during week days; but on weekends they're borrowed till the next weekday (tipically monday). The remaining items of that biblio fit on the standard issuing rules. We want to enforce this rule but we don't find a clear way of doing this, without modifing some CGI and maybe the database estructure. Any comments will be appreciatted Andres

introducting Henri Damien Laurent
by Paul POULAIN 07 Feb '05

07 Feb '05

Hello koha-devel, I'm very very happy to (re-) introduce Henri Damien Laurent. It's a french developper that is one of my friends. He worked just for fun on Koha 2.0.0 (templated some code). Then he leaved France for Ivory Coast, 2 years ago. In october, he got married, and 15 days after the wedding ceremony, he flyed back to France with the french army (search for troubles in Ivory Coast in 2004, november) Now he is in France with it's wife, and i'm very very very very happy to announce that i've hired him (for at least 3 months, hopefully more). He read this list as well as most other koha-related lists. He works at full time on Koha, on 2 things for now : * moving koha-fr.org (and some other sites) to a new server (P4-3GhZ HT - 512MB RAM, 80GB HD, good bandwidh) * writing stats modules. In the french mailing list, we had some discussion on the new module. I've made a OOo document in French (ask for it if you speak french and are insterested to see what will be in the module) In a few word, there will be some pre-produced stats, plus a tool to export datas in CSV (for Excel / OpenOffice.org Calc), that could enable virtually any stat. (After that, he will work with me on some contracts i've signed.) Code expected to be in CVS-HEAD in the next days (2 weeks ?), then i'll port it to rel_2_2 for release in 2.2.x This module being funded by EMN (Ecole des Mines de Nantes) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
