Re: [Koha-devel] hard coded stuff?

> Is > there a known problem with moving it into an > inline stylesheet in the > template, or shall I try it? Well, the only problem with that is the limitation of using inline stylesheets. True, if you're using HTML:Template to include a header file that includes the inline stylesheet you don't have the problem of editing all those files if you want to change a style. But it is nice to be able to have the browser load and cache an external stylesheet and not have to download that info again and again. I'm still not sure this is really an issue--since stylesheets are associated with a particular template, isn't it easy enough to modify the url if you're changing the template (by, for instance, translating it)? -- Owen ---- Nelsonville Public Library Koha 2.0.0-pre-n (CVS)

buildrelease problems
by MJ Ray 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

I had hoped to save some data transfer by using buildrelease to rebuild the 2.0.0pre5 tarball from local cvs, but it seems to think we are on 1.9.3 still. Does anyone have an easy way to make it build the released 2.0.0pre5? -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.

RE: [Koha] from ISIS to Koha
by Lucia Phillip 03 Nov '03

03 Nov '03

Hi, I know a number of libraries that would like to use Koha. Many of them are at present working with WINISIS. With the version 1.92 i was able to take MARC records exported as an ISO 2709 and import them into the breeding farm. i was then able to search for records and then import them into KOHA. To do this I reversed the changes that had been made to fit Winisis such as the subfield delimiters, the end of field and the end of record symbols. With this latest version however although I am able to import records into the breeding farm, when I go to Add biblio and do a search of a record that I know was among those imported, I get the message that <Nothing found>. I am wondering why this is happening with this version.

If you were willing to spend a bit of time asking questions (even just passing a list of questions you need answers to), we could probably use them to build a set of answers/documents that might help.

This has the unfortunate side effect of giving us daily a 30 megabyte error log full of "XX at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Koha.pm line 198."

circulation broken in pre5
by robweir＠alum.drexel.edu 29 Oct '03

29 Oct '03

Hi all: In preparing a windows release of pre5, I note that circulation appears to be broken in pre5. When trying to bring up circulation, I get an apache internal error 500. The apache error log shows: [Tue Oct 28 22:25:07 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of script headers: circulation.pl, referer: http://intranet/cgi-bin/koha/mainpage.pl [Tue Oct 28 22:25:07 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] HTML::Template->new() : Syntax error in <TMPL_*> tag at C:\usr\koha200pre5\intranet\htdocs\intranet-tmpl\default\en\circ\circulation .tmpl : 80. at C:/usr/site/lib/HTML/Template.pm line 2243., referer: http://intranet/cgi-bin/koha/mainpage.pl I get the same error using both default en and default fr templates. I get the same error with either perl 5.6 or 5.8. Have there been any changes in the required perl modules? If I copy circulation.tmpl from the pre4 release the error goes away and the page displays properly. However, I know you've been working on circulation templating, and I suspect the older version of circulation.tmpl will not work properly with the newer release. I did a diff of the two file versions, but differences are drastic enough, I'm not going to be able to figure it out. Any ideas on what I can do to fix this before I build the windows install package? I am testing with the default settings of simple acqusitions, MARC yes, MARC21, and default english themes and templates. Thanks! I appreciate the good job you guys are doing! Rob
