biblio deletion
by paul POULAIN 24 Oct '03

24 Oct '03

Hi all, I'm working on biblio deletion in Koha. There are some very annoying bugs in deletion in 1.2.x code, that I want to clean. The deleted biblio is copied into a "deletedbiblio" table, for historic purposes. Note that there is no way to transfer the biblio back to "active DB". And it's a little buggy : the biblio can be deleted without the biblioitems :-\ (see delbiblio.pl & sub delbiblio in C4/Biblio.pm). and you can delete a biblioitem with items attached (deletebiblioitems.pl) I propose the following feature : * a confirmation is needed before any deletion. * delete can be done on biblio or items. If done on biblio, biblioitem and items are deleted too. * deleted biblios are no more stored in deletedbiblio tables : because there is no MARC deletedbiblio, no way to restore a biblio, I think it's a feature we could introduce in a future version of Koha. * deletion require a "superlibrarian" flag, to avoid any librarian deleting biblios. Any opinion/suggestions ? -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Header and footers disappearence in 1.2.2
by Abu Obeida O. Bakhach 24 Oct '03

24 Oct '03

Hi there, I have been playing around with 122 and 123. I noticed that not all pages in 122 koha/intranet pages have the headers and footers in them. I assumed it was a SSI problem, but my apache config works fine for the other pages. And using the same config, the headers and footers are consistent in 123. Is there any special trick to get the headers working? thanks

> > * debugging & releasing a good 2.0.0 version ? Speaking of which... maybe folks could 'sound off' and let everyone know what they're working on? I count 86 non-enhancement bugs (if my Bugzilla query can be trusted). We haven't had much movement in the last few months. We haven't even had a bug meeting since I-don't-know-when. Is the feature-freeze putting everyone in a bad mood? Is everyone secretly working on their own enhancements and waiting for 2.0? -- Owen ---- Nelsonville Public Library Koha 2.0.0-pre2-R2

Help koha by checking a bug has gone
by MJ Ray 22 Oct '03

22 Oct '03

Non-developers with working koha 2.x installations can start helping to ensure that koha 2.0 has as few bugs as possible. Others may have to wait for pre5 (or RC1?) to appear very soon. The priority is to make sure that reported bugs really are fixed when we think they are. Go to the page at http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=RESOLVED&versi… to get a list of bugs we think are gone. Pick one and see if you can make the bug come back as described. If you can't, then pick "Mark bug as VERIFIED" from the list and click "Commit". If you're not sure whether you did the right thing, leave a comment. That's all it takes, but there are over 300 bugs waiting for this simple task to be done now. Once bugs get to "VERIFIED", my QA hat lets me close them, but I'll need your help to get them there. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.

RFC: USMARC or MARC21?
by MJ Ray 21 Oct '03

21 Oct '03

In some places in koha, the system refers to USMARC. I think it possibly should say MARC21 now. For example, in the templates: $ grep -rl USMARC koha-tmpl/ koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/default/en/acqui.simple/marcimport.tmpl koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/default/en/import/breeding.tmpl koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/default/en/parameters/z3950servers.tmpl koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/default/fr/parameters/z3950servers.tmpl koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/default/pl/acqui.simple/marcimport.tmpl I don't file this as a bug yet because I want to know: are we offering MARC21 or USMARC for v2.0? -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know.

Getting rid of z3950 daemons
by MJ Ray 20 Oct '03

20 Oct '03

Why is the z3950 daemon needed? What steps are needed to get rid of it? Is it possible to run one per server instead of one per koha installation? Thanks for any answers. -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know. http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ gopher://g.towers.org.uk/ slef(a)jabber.at Creative copyleft computing services via http://www.ttllp.co.uk/

new script in CVS to manage DB
by paul POULAIN 20 Oct '03

20 Oct '03

Hello all, I've added in CVS a misc/rebuildnonmarc.pl script : run this script when you change a link between marc and non MARC DB. It rebuilds the non-MARC DB (long operation) Note : don't forget to export PERL5LIB=/path/to/koha before running this script. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

catalogue-home.pl
by Owen Leonard 18 Oct '03

18 Oct '03

I'm hoping someone can confirm the expected behavior of catalogue-home.pl for me. Our previous system had a lot of flexibility in building queries that combined different terms in complex AND and OR phrases, so I'm getting a little confused when I look at catalogue-home.pl. Tell me if this is correct: title, author, and keyword can all be limited by class. But title, author, and keyword can't be searched in combination. So, for instance, title and author can't be searched together (title keyword 'murder' AND author 'rendell'). And subject can only be searched on it's own. Is that right? What about limiting by branch? There's a commented-out piece of code in the template, but it doesn't work for us if we put in our values. -- Owen ---- Nelsonville Public Library Koha 2.0.0-pre2-R2

next version next week
by paul POULAIN 17 Oct '03

17 Oct '03

Hi, The next version of Koha should be released next week (tuesday or friday). It will be called "2.0.0RC1" and be in the stable tree. The Koha team think the 2.0.0 branch is stable enough now to be used in real world. Note it still has some defaults/bugs, but it's useable. With the 2.0.0RC1 release, a new branch will be created. It will be the "2.0.0 branch". The main trunk will be "open" to new features (some ppl in Esiee are waiting to commit nice things like LDAP auth...). The 2.0.0 branch will be used for bugfixes only. At least 4 libraries are already using Koha 2.0.0 in production : * Nelsonville, Ohio, USA * Dombes Abbey, France * Esiee, Paris, France * Wesford, Grenoble, France and some others are investigating and should adopt Koha soon. The RC1 version will : * solve some bugs in Koha, in the installer, * provides some useful tools in misc directory to help DB maintenance. * improve some screen in OPAC & librarian interface. * add a polish version (courtesy of Benedykt) Keep fingers crossed :-) -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
