SQL problems in koha 2
by MJ Ray 06 Nov '03

06 Nov '03

Because of some work I was doing, I found lots of SQL queries that don't use ? placeholders. I updated those I found and will do the rest in z3950, but I have listed others on bug report number 662. Developers check that page and fix your files, please, adding notes to the BTS when files are clean. If you get time to fix other people's files, please attach patches to the bug report as normal. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.

That should really be on the table for 2.5 or 3.0--better integration of the two options. That said, I don't see any reason why we should continue storing records in deletedbiblio. I also think that we should develop a way to store deleted MARC data as well--Chris is right: you may want to use that data again some day. -- Owen ---- Nelsonville Public Library Koha 2.0.0-pre2-R2

Re: [Koha-devel] circulation.tmpl and 'noissues'

> It means this borrower is not ever allowed items > to be issued to them. > So they cant have any waiting, or overdue etc as > they cant be issued to. That's what I thought, but it let me check something out just fine. What conditions will cause 'noissues' to be set? Is it just outstanding charges, as defined in the 'noissuescharge' parameter? I disagree with the idea that it should hide any kind of messages. It should be possible for the librarian to tell someone that they have an item waiting-- particularly if 'noissues' is set because of an outstanding charge. The patron might want to pay the fine immediately so that they can take the book home with them. I don't see why it should *hide* any information at all. -- Owen

circulation.tmpl and 'noissues'
by Owen Leonard 04 Nov '03

04 Nov '03

I'm trying to understand a bit of logic in the circulation template dealing with how messages are displayed. Here's the section, edited for (hopefully) clarity: <TMPL_IF name="noissues"> <TMPL_IF name="charges"> [CHARGES...] <TMPL_ELSE> <TMPL_VAR name="flag"> .. <TMPL_VAR name="message"> </TMPL_IF> <TMPL_ELSE> <TMPL_IF name="charges"> [CHARGES...] </TMPL_IF> <TMPL_IF name="waiting"> [WAITING...<TMPL_LOOP name="itemswaiting">] </TMPL_IF> <TMPL_IF name="odues"> <TMPL_IF name="nonreturns"> [ODUES...] </TMPL_IF> </TMPL_IF> <TMPL_IF name="notes"> [NOTES...] </TMPL_IF> </TMPL_IF> The first IF block says if 'noissues' is set, display ONLY THIS INFORMATION, which is either about charges or whatever is in "flag" and "message". What is 'noissues'? When is this set, and what does it mean? Why would you not want to display information about waiting items, overdues, and notes if noissues is set? -- Owen ---- Nelsonville Public Library Koha 2.0.0-pre-x (CVS)

Re: [Koha-devel] hard coded stuff?
by Owen Leonard 03 Nov '03

> 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.
