Re: [Koha-devel] SIP2

Hi Lee, I was doing some study in RFID system and the respective protocols. There are already some tools available for RFID technology in Perl: http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/dist/RFID-Base However, there are no Perl module available for SIP2 or NCIP. Could you please elaborate on what the SIP2 toolkit does? I mean what are the development efforts needed from a Perl programmer to use your toolkit in doing the integration? Could you please explain how do you make that toolkit available? I've been working with Koha for more than past 2 years and I'll be interested in writing the wrapper for Koha, using your toolkit.

We want the following features to provide a demonstration circulation system. We cannot be aligned to any commercial circulation system We need a SIP2 interface to all circulation systems. We have a development kit for this interface. We also would like to be able to add menu items that enable the extraction of item information, convert it to a text form and then send it via FTP to an IP address where it is accessed by an item search device We also would like to perform the reverse where we take a text file (from an inventory collection device) and feed it back to the circulation system Is there a plan to add this feature? If not what would it cost us to ad these features?

Does anyone know the status of opac-renew.pl? Is that something old that doesn't work anymore? Or should it be expected to work? -- Owen ---- Web Developer Nelsonville Public Library http://www.athenscounty.lib.oh.us

koha-2.0.2beta0
by MJ Ray 29 Oct '04

29 Oct '04

You can now get the untested 2.0.2beta0 from the src.tar.gz link on http://www.mjr.dsl.pipex.com/ or by following the tla tag instructions given in the tutorial (with the mjr(a)dsl.pipex.com--koha2/koha--release2--0.2 replacing the webmaster@affs stuff). If you've been following the 2.0.1 archive, this corresponds to patch-8 in that. If you have time and a 2.0.1 server you don't mind damaging, I'd appreciate any beta-testing and bug reports, either on bugs.koha.org or by email. When I've upgraded my server and kicked it around a little, I'll upload 2.0.2release to sourceforge, which will be a faster download. Please only grab 2.0.2beta0 if you really are a beta-tester.

It looks like the whole function has been reworked in the latest version. opac-new.pl doesn't even exist anymore. Maybe Paul can suggest how to handle the bug in 2.0. -- Owen

Koha Admin Screens
by Rachel Hamilton-Williams 29 Oct '04

29 Oct '04

Hi all, I was setting up a quick demo Koha today for someone and it got me thinking about a better way to layout the admin screens. http://katipo.co.nz/gallery/koha-admin Are some pictures. My general feeling was that there are only a few things you need to set if you're just wanting to put in a few books and see what it does (hence the short list of required settings) But that then the other preferences should be grouped into the area they relate to perhaps? I did think that they could be grouped into "things to do if you've got a big library" and things to do if you don't - but that seemed a bit harder to decide on. Anyway let me know if it appeals - we might give it a try in the Katipo templates first. PLUS are there actually more admin parameters than I've got here.... And are any of them MARC/NON MARC specific - I'd particularly like to not have people setting variables that they don't have to.

(minor) problem with translator tool
by Paul POULAIN 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

Hello all, I've translated the french OPAC with the misc/translator/tmpl_process3.pl script. Works fine EXCEPT for strings with a point (.) Could anyone (Ambrose ?) explain what it is due to ? I don't understand the tmplTokenizer.pm at all, and I suspect it's an escape problem. If you want to check with 2.1.3 and french, look at opac-search.tmpl, the sentences in the "hint" box are not translated, all the rest is. Of course, the strings are translated in the .po file ! -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
