minor bugs (2.0.0RC4)
by T & J Kotula 19 Mar '04

19 Mar '04

Hi all, I noticed a few minor bugs - it looks like HTML is partially broken for the following pages (I kicked out IE and now I'm using Mozilla): http://192.168.5.22:8080/cgi-bin/koha/acqui.simple/websitesearch.pl http://192.168.5.22:8080/cgi-bin/koha/maint/catmaintain.pl In addition to this, when someone is logged in with: borrow & reserve & view catalogue permissions they can go to the following pages. I don't think this is serious as they can not do any damage from those pages (I can do lots more damage as kohaadmin with my very limited knowledge :-) http://192.168.5.22:8080/cgi-bin/koha/shelves.pl?shelves=1 and add shelves etc. http://192.168.5.22:8080/cgi-bin/koha/maint/catmaintain.pl On this page Koha does not show who is logged in. http://192.168.5.22:8080/cgi-bin/koha/acqui.simple/websitesearch.pl Tomasz Kotula.

SearchMarc.pm
by Chris Cormack 10 Mar '04

10 Mar '04

Hi All Especially Joshua. Ive been thinking on starting work on Query.pm our top level search module. And im thinking of using Joshua's SearchMarc.pm module as one (if not its main) backend. Heres what im thinking Query.pm creates an object. On creating the kohaquery object you pass it a string which describes your search. Pat and Steve were discussing perhaps using a syntax like googles. Eg something like my $query=Query::new("title: elephants (author: johnson | author: tonnesen)") you then can do things like $num_of_results=$query->count(); my $results=$query->results(-sortby => 'title', -limit=>10, -offset=>'10'); So the Query module does all the hard work, and then all search.pl needs to do is craft the search string. So making new searches, or searching new combinations of data should be easy. Now joshua has written a module SearchMarc.pm which searches the marc tables to return data, so I was thinking of using Query.pm to parse the searchstring and construct the appropriate variables to call catalogsearch in SearchMarc Good, Bad, stupid idea?

Language Field in Biblio table
by Chris Cormack 10 Mar '04

10 Mar '04

Hi All As part of the work we did for UNIDO we added a language field to the biblio, so you could specify the language a book was written in. We also made this searchable from the intranet and the opac. Now that we have a stable fork, I was thinking i'll add this into the cvs HEAD if people think its a useful feature. Ill also check what other changes I made and if they are useful add those as well. Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 027 4500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris(a)katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz

Re: enquiry

Hi I'm really not the best person to answer these questions but I'll do my best - and if you take a look at the manual for 1.2 then you should find a fair bit of information there. Basically the big change in 2.0 is that MARC has been added - all the other bits of Koha should be about the same. > madam, > we are not clear with all entries in system parameters such as > fine type(in user category)etc.... Do you wish to use fines? I am not sure that there is a proper setup page for fines, although there is a fine table, and koha does know about fines. When you set up a new sort of user, you can say if they get fines or not - but looking at the administration options I think you might need to set your types of fines manually. Fines for HLT are a calculation based on borrower type x book type x length of time overdue I'm pretty sure that there isn't a simple way to setup fines, but I'm ccing this to the developer list in case I'm wrong. > we also wanted to know if the s/w provide an automatic fine calculation > mechanism rather than doing it manually. Yes - if the correct variables are entered into the fine table. FOR EXAMPLE Borrower type = child Fine value = $1 Interval = 7 days So they would get charged a fine of $1 for each 7 day period that they have a book overdue - so after 14 days they would have a fine of $2 OR if you charge a daily rate Borrower type = child Fine value = $.10 Interval = 1 days So after 14 days the fine would be $1.40 > and how do you change the password settings for the administrator > interface(using httpd authentication)??? Yes I think so > could you help????Hope you don't mind us frequently asking questions... I'm not the best person to answer some of these questions - I'm not a technical person - but they are good questions.

by Benedykt P. Barszcz 08 Mar '04

08 Mar '04

Hi, I have encountered a major problem at importing a record after it has been searched via z3950. Namely, the characters for Polish diacritical signs are not properly displayed and cannot be stored like that. I would like someone to guide me through this and help. Here ire the specifics on the server i query: DATABASE - Z39.50 ACCESS TO BNPOL DATABASE The National Library in Warsaw, Poland (April 9th, 2003) 1 > Code for database: INNOPAC 2 > Display name for database: Z39.50 ACCESS TO BNPOL DATABASE 3 > IP address of server: 193.59.172.100 4 > Port: 210 5 > Authentication/Password: NOT REQUIRED 6 > Character Set: win1250 (ISO 6937/2) 7 > Enable SCAN Facility?

How am I supposed to work? Benedict

confirmation of z3950 search & import working
by Benedykt P. Barszcz 08 Mar '04

08 Mar '04

Hi group, I can now confirm that z3950 search & import IS working here on my setup of: Fedora Core 1 (perl and mysql version not modified from the distro version) Tt then sounds very promissing for the upcoming 2.0 (clear) version. But two questions arise: 1. Does admin (or whoever performs cataloging) need to manually export PERL5LIB and KOHA_CONF env variables as root? Can't a setup script do it for a site (installation of koha?) 2. In help pane it says that once a record is found in the reservoir (breeding farm) while a search on a title or isbn is performed, and if an item (real copy) is added to koha system then that biblio will also be removed from the reservoir ...? It doesn't happen here on my system. A second search on same isbn or title continues to find a biblio in the reservoir. Any suggestions? Benedict
