Time for another Koha meeting
by Rachel Hamilton-Williams 23 Nov '04

23 Nov '04

Hi all, As Paul is making good progress with the release of 2.2, another release candidate out over the weekend, can we please have another Koha IRC meeting. Specifically we'll be looking for feedback on the release canadidates, to see where the documentation project is at, and to sort out a publicity plan for when the new release is out. Can we make the meeting Thursday this week? 11PM (9PM GMT) if at all possible? Let me know if you're able/unable to make it cheers Rachel -- _____________________________________________________________ Rachel Hamilton-Williams Katipo Communications MANAGING DIRECTOR Ph 021 389 128 or +64 04 934 1285 mailto:rachel@katipo.co.nz PO Box 12487, Wellington http://www.katipo.co.nz New Zealand Koha Open Source Library System http://www.koha.org

Some directives to set mod_perl
by Andrés Tarallo 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

I'll asumme that you have installed mod_perl (from RPMs, compiling), koha is running in /usr/local/koha and you have apache 2.0.49 (I'm under SuSE 9.1). First in your mod_perl-startup.pl change *use lib qw( /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules ); *to: *use lib qw(/srv/www/perl-lib /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules );* Now go to your http configuration and find where you have the virtual servers. for each virtual server add something like this: *<Location /cgi-bin/koha/> # mod_perl mode SetHandler perl-script PerlResponseHandler ModPerl::Registry PerlOptions +ParseHeaders Options +ExecCGI </Location> * More or less this is my setup, this is not a howto, maybe someone can write something more detailed.

Re: [Koha] koha 2.0rc1 and Apache::Registry
by Andrés Tarallo 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

We have a running instalation of Koha 2.1.2, "it works", but has many glitches that prevent us to putting into production. We have a set of bugfixes and is working without complaints from the users We hope to have time this week that is beginning to install 2.2.0rc2 and port our patches to 2.2.0rc2. Most of the problems are in the C4 module. Andres MJ Ray wrote: >> mod_perl)? > > is koha 2.0rc1 known not to run right with Apache::Registry (i.e., under > > That's a fairly old version.

circulation on Koha 2.2.0 and issuingrules
by Paul POULAIN 18 Nov '04

18 Nov '04

Hi, Seems there's something that must be explained on Koha 2.2.0... The issuingrules MUST be set again, even if you upgraded from Koha 2.0. It's due to the new structure of issuingrules. So, you must : * set issuingrules for a given borrowertype / branch / itemtype * ALSO set issuingrules for * (all of them) Otherwise, you're saying : - a "student" can issue up to 5 "book" in "main branch" - "anybody (*)" can issue up to 0 "book" in "main branch" - a "student" can issue up to 0 "any item (*)" in "main branch" If you miss this, you will always have to confirm each issuing, which is quite poor... PS : pour les lecteurs francophones, désolé, je fais au plus rapide... -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

bugs in 2.2.0RC1
by Paul POULAIN 18 Nov '04

18 Nov '04

Hi, 3 bugs have been found (and fixed) in Koha 2.2.0RC1 : * import in reservoir : bug that makes title & isbn being empty instead of being correctly found. * OPAC : it was possible to reserve books that were "notforloan" * Circulation : no warning when a reserve was made on a book that you try to issue to someone else. I'll release a 2.2.0RC1b today or next day (with some french translation improvements probably) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Circulation warning messages
by Owen Leonard 17 Nov '04

17 Nov '04

In previous version of Koha if you tried to issue a book which was reserved for another patron, you would be presented with a question along the lines of: Item is reserved, continue with check-out? If you said yes, it would then ask you if you wanted to cancel the reserve--this is helpful because sometimes a man comes in to check out an item for his wife. He uses his card, so the reserve has to be overridden, but the reserve can also be cancelled, because the transaction is actually fulfilling the reserve. It looks like this process is gone in the latest release. This is a severe reduction in functionality as far as our day- to-day workflow is concerned. It's *very* important to us that this feature be restored! -- Owen ---- Web Developer Nelsonville Public Library http://www.athenscounty.lib.oh.us
