> I've seen a question about Koha in Arabic. > What about Koha in Hebrew? Can we make it easier for folks to be translators? It seems like we're asking folks who want to be translators to also be proficient with Perl (or at the very least comfortable with the Linux command line). That limits our options. When we get offers like this, can we send them *just* the translator's file? That's how it works, right? The translation script strips out all the language strings and the translator translates them in isolation? We could at least get rough draft translations without expecting people to have a working Koha installation. It that possible? -- Owen ---- Web Developer Nelsonville Public Library http://www.athenscounty.lib.oh.us

Hi all, I'll release Koha 2.2.0 soon & i just wanted to know the status of 2 translations : * spanish/argentina (es_AR) : i don't see opac_css for es translation. does it exist on someone computer ? * i'm really happy to see zh_TW back. Ambrose, is it ready ? I plan to release official 2.2.0 on wednesday, after a last day of testing. If es & zh are not ready, they won't be included, but delayed to 2.2.1 that could arrive in a month or less if needed. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Search and Install bugs in Koha2.2RC5
by T & J Kotula 03 Jan '05

03 Jan '05

Hi all, Just installed Koha2.2 for the first time. Looks great. 1. There is a typo in koha.upgrade, after it copies OPAC interface to /usr/local/opac/cgi-bin, the script reportes an error: "Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at Install.pm line 1656". I was trying to upgrade 2.0 to 2.2RC5. 2. On a MARCdetail.pl screen, when I hit any search button (the ones with magnifying glass icons) I get an internal server error :-(. The error log is a rather long, see below. 3. I'm also having problems installing 2.2RC5 from scratch. After typing in mysql root password, the installer script bombs out with a message "Error 1054 at line 1. Unknown column 'lock_tables_priv' in 'field list'" followed by "Access denied for user to database Koha". It installed fine when I removed 'lock_tables_priv' from insert statement in Install.pm. I'm running as root on FC2.

Weird behaviour?
by Andrés Tarallo 30 Dec '04

30 Dec '04

Hi every body !!!! Hope you had enjoyed christmas.We have some things that are not clear, maybe you can help us. Our library has two branches, each branch has in it's collections books, magazines, CDs (audio and software) and and Video recordings (mostly VHS, some other formats). We are using frameworks and modified the bulkmarcimport to make it aware of the frameworks. Now when we catalog a new item koha uses the proper framework. We noticed in the OPAC search when we look for a video that the director's name doesn't appear, and some anoyances like that. Since the mapping between Non-Marc and Marc are unique I can't stablish different bindings for different kind of item, the author of a book goes to a different field that the director of a movie. Is anybody expiriencing something like this ? any suggestion? Thanks Andres

2.2.0 official and online help
by Paul POULAIN 23 Dec '04

23 Dec '04

Hello koha folks, As announced, the official 2.2.0 should be out on january, 3rd or 4th. There is a little thing missing in our preferred ILS : ONLINE HELP The parameters section is done (thanks to nelsonville guys) The member section is done (thanks to BWS johnson) The new modules are documented (serials & for example, thanks to me) Catalogue is partially done Acquisition is not done So if some of you have a CVS of 2.2.0RCx installation somewhere and some minuts, don't hesitate to write some help. Post it on this mailing list or on the wiki (www.koha.org/wiki) i'll take care of it when i'm back Just be carefull some help exist on the CVS that is not on the wiki. If you have a 2.2.0RCx, you have all the existing doc, except member section that has been provided recently by BWS johnson. Thanks -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Koha 2.2.0RC5 has been released
by Paul POULAIN 20 Dec '04

20 Dec '04

Complete release notes & download at http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=291234 Diff 2.2RC4 => 2.2RC5 ********************* BUGFIXES ***** Critical * limiting the number of search term to 8. There was no limit before, but 8 words seems to be the upper limit mySQL can deal with (in less than a second. tested on a DB with 13 000 items) In 2.4, a new DB structure will highly speed things and this limit will be removed. FindDuplicate is activated again. * bugfixes in french translation (that made cataloguing in french impossible) * set lock_tables_privs = 'Y' during install stage. Note this requires a mysql version not too old. ***** Minor * during update, if the user enter a different directory for backup than the default one, the updater does not obey and stores in default directory anyway ! * minor (spelling) fix for adding an organization * member search (bug 851) : stripping out comma and apostrophe from search terms * various methods to split subjects (depending on OS, a <CR> / <CR><LF> problem) IMPROVEMENTS ***** Major * circulation / issue : adding a button to cancel an issue when a confirmation is required (bug #858) * circulation / issue : adding a checkbox to confirm reserve cancel when a reserved book is issued by someone else (bug #858) * virtual shelves : adding feature to create a virtual shelf on the fly, when adding a biblio, and feature to modify a virtual shelf name/status * catalogue : adding a systempref to define default view in OPAC (either normal, MARC or ISBD). Created automatically during install or update. Check that you have a Koha >> parameters >> systempreferences >> BiblioDefaultView, Variable type : Choice, Variable options : normal|marc|isbd **** Minor * an improvement has been done in DB calls that needs a new index. It's automatically added in fresh installs, but for updates, run the following SQL command : ALTER TABLE `marc_subfield_structure` ADD INDEX ( `kohafield` ) * adding a systempref to define default view in OPAC (either normal, MARC or ISBD). Created automatically during install or update. Check that you have a Koha >> parameters >> systempreferences >> BiblioDefaultView, Variable type : Choice, Variable options : normal|marc|isbd * the list of authorities types is now ordered by authtypetext. Thus you can use the "space trick" : if you add a space before an authtype text, it's shown first. Useful when you have an authority type that you use more often than others. * authoritiy list shown in authtypetext order (so authtypetext with a space appear first, hint used everywhere else for lists) * some minor html changes (like changing "images" numbers in "text" numbers for result list page numbers. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

kohadocs.org is up
by Stephen Hedges 18 Dec '04

18 Dec '04

If you are subscribed to the Koha list, you've seen the announcement of the new website for holding Koha documentation: http://www.kohadocs.org. After a frustrating session with CVS, and considering that the Koha documents are hard to find in Sourceforge anyway, I decided to set up this site dedicated to Koha documents. While the site has the advantage of being much easier for me to maintain, and much easier for the user to find the documents, the disadvantage, of course, is that all changes to documents will have to go through me; however, since I have developed a standardized structure for the documents as I have been working with them, and would like to maintain that standard, I don't see this as being a problem. The site contents should be easy to transfer to another location, should that ever become necessary. I still have a couple of documents waiting for author approval, and a couple more which I need to edit and return to the authors for approval. If you have anything you'd like to add to the documents, please send it (or a link) to me. Thanks! Stephen -- Stephen Hedges Skemotah Solutions, USA www.skemotah.com -- shedges(a)skemotah.com
