New to list and looking for info onSME/Mitel/E-smith and Koha
by Koha Admin 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

Hi, I'm new to to the list (finally)....I'm a technology coordinator in Maine, USA and have been using E-Smith/, K12LTSP, and so forth extensively in my school for a couple years now. I'm really interested in getting Koha running, but want to keep the installation as simple as possible....I saw in the archives that some work has been done with releasing an RPM for installing on SME/Mitel/E-Smith.....can anyone point me to these files or let me know what the status of it is? Thanks! David N. Trask Technology Teacher/Coordinator Vassalboro Community School dtrask(a)vcs.u52.k12.me.us (207)923-3100

Branches and opac reserve template
by Owen Leonard 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

I notice that in the default template opac-reserves.tmpl has this code: Please select the branch from which you want to collect the item: <TMPL_VAR NAME="CGIbranch"> ...which produces an html select list. On the other hand, the vanilla template has this code: <TMPL_LOOP NAME="BRANCHES"> <td VALIGN="TOP"><INPUT TYPE="radio" name="branch" value='<TMPL_VAR NAME="branchcode">' class="checkbox"></td> <td VALIGN="TOP"><TMPL_VAR NAME="branchname"></TD> </TMPL_LOOP> ...which is nice in that in using the loop it give template-writers the flexibility to choose their input method. Unfortunately, the latter code snippet doesn't work! It doesn't produce anything, so I guess the 'BRANCHES' array hasn't been populated. Is the template expecting a different version of opac-reserves.pl? I notice that the HLT site has other options as well, like being able to choose acceptable formats. What's the story? Will these features be rolled into 2.0? -- Owen ---- Nelsonville Public Library Koha 2.0.0-pre2-R2

Call to missing acquisitions.pm module
by robweir＠alum.drexel.edu 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

Hi all, In testing V2.0.0pre2 on windows against a set of almost blank data, we are hitting either a bug or a missing file. I tried to see if anything was listed on this in bugzilla, but did not come up with a match. We are testing with acquisitions set to simple, marc set to 0 (off), and both opac themes and template set to default english. In Intranet, we do a simple catalog search. We click on a title from the resulting search list. This brings up detail.pl with the item displayed. We click on the barcode which brings up moredetail.pl. Under Group, we click on the Edit button, which brings up modbibitem.pl. At this point, if we edit and then click to save changes, we get a server error because updatebibitem.pl is accessed and it trys to use acquisitions.pm which doesn't exist in the V2.0.0pre2 set of files. Bottom line is updatebibitem.pl contains: use C4::Acquisitions and there is no acquisitions.pm module to be found. Is this a relic leftover from V1.2 or a missing file or a bug? With all the emphasis on MARC, have the non-MARC modules not been updated? What settings are recommended for manual entry of a small database that does not use MARC. Thanks, Rob

Chinese Translation
by Arthur CCC 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

Dear Sir, We are looking for a chinese library system. And we found that Library is very powerful. Can I ask is there any available Chinese Koha version? if not, can we do so and what should we do? Also, we may need to combine it our other codes, can we modify the codes for customization? Thanks much and regards, Arthur

Koha2.0.0pre2 bugs etc (continued :-)
by T & J Kotula 27 Jul '03

27 Jul '03

Chris suggested mailing bugs etc. to the koha-devel list, so here they go: Easy ones: 1. There is no message when a reserved book is being returned 2. There are no messages when issuing more books than allowed for a member with a given membership category 3. moremember.pl has a dead link to cancel-requests.gif 4. moremember.pl shows "Fee:$30/year, Paid" for members with a category having a joining fee of $0 5. Some inconsistancies on the admin/systempreferences.pl: autoBarcode=Yes, yet autoMemberNum=1. It would be nice if all valid options were shown when modifying a given variable Hard ones: 1. I have reinstalled 2.0.0pre2 a few times and only ONCE my mainpage.pl looked like the one at hlt.katipo.co.nz. All the previous installs were missing text entry box for the catalogue search and the link to 'Advanced search'. I know these things are deterministic..., but I have screen shots to prove it. I have verified all files in /etc/local/koha/ to be the same for the above two cases. My httpd.conf file was also the same. Any clues? 2. All entries of the parameters table (admin/systempreferences.pl) went blank. Koha.systempreferences table was indeed empty. Had to reinstall Koha to get it back. Don't know why. Happened twice. A note for the koha manual. A warning for incompetent people as myself to make sure they do not set "Check for newer versions of stored pages" to "Never". I have set it by mistake and I could not add any members. PS. Again I'm not using Bugzilla so appologies for reporting 'old' bugs. Best regards Tomasz Kotula

Item type images
by Owen Leonard 24 Jul '03

24 Jul '03

I can't seem to get the item type images to show up in my opac-detail template. They're working on the Horowhenua site: http://opac.library.org.nz/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=4069 ...And I've altered itemtype-image.inc to reflect our library's item types, but I'm still getting nothing. It doesn't work when I load the vanilla template either, which makes me think the problem's in the perl script. Can anyone verify this? -- Owen ---- Nelsonville Public Library Koha 2.0.0-pre2-R2

Opac Detail
by Owen Leonard 22 Jul '03

22 Jul '03

How hard would it be to get opac-detail.pl to return more data? Right now it looks from the template like it gives you: title subtitle author subject copyright date biblionumber and holding information. It'd be nice to have more information at the disposal of template-writers. For starters: edition publisher physical description notes isbn It'd be great to have those fields available, even if template-writers chose not to include them. -- Owen ---- Nelsonville Public Library Koha 2.0.0-pre2-R2
