template names
by Tonnesen Steve 05 Jun '03

05 Jun '03

Wiping egg off my face. :) Okay, so there are separate templates for the opac and intranet sides now. I forgot. So now I've added a couple of subroutines to Search.pm that will grab a list of themes or languages available in the opac or intranet sides, and the systempreferences edit page will display this list and allow you to specify your preferred order. So there will be "intranettheme", an "opactheme", and "languageorder" settings. The last appears to be garnered from web browser settings if available, otherwise falls back on the system preference setting. Steve.

Bug #35: Enhancing system parameters
by Tonnesen Steve 05 Jun '03

05 Jun '03

I'm working on bug #35. I'd like to combine some of the different "styles" of boolean questions so that they are all "yes/no" type questions. Right now we have three different styles: yes/no 1/0 on/off I've done a search of all .pl and .pm files and found the following list of locations that use preferences. Some of these will have to be changed (notably, 'marc', 'autoMemberNum', and 'autoBarcode') to reflect the change to a "yes/no" value. If nobody objects to any of this, I'll carry on. You can take a look at the systempreferences page at: http://142.28.224.19/cgi-bin/koha/admin/systempreferences.pl ./cgi-bin/acqui/acquire.pl: autoBarcode ./cgi-bin/acqui/newbiblio.pl: autoBarcode ./cgi-bin/admin/thesaurus.pl: authoritysep ./cgi-bin/value_builder/unimarc_field_210c.pl: authoritysep ./cgi-bin/value_builder/unimarc_field_225a.pl: authoritysep ./cgi-bin/loadmodules.pl: acquisitions ./cgi-bin/loadmodules.pl: marc ./cgi-bin/mainpage.pl: marc ./cgi-bin/search.pl: marc ./cgi-bin/acqui.simple/addbooks.pl: marc ./cgi-bin/acqui.simple/isbnsearch.pl: marc ./modules/C4/Circulation/Circ2.pm: noissuescharge ./modules/C4/Auth.pm: timeout ./modules/C4/Auth.pm: insecure ./modules/C4/Authorities.pm: authoritysep ./modules/C4/Boolean.pm: insecure ./modules/C4/Breeding.pm: marcflavour ./modules/C4/Date.pm: dateformat ./modules/C4/Input.pm: checkdigit ./modules/C4/Members.pm: autoMemberNum ./modules/C4/Output.pm: opaclanguages ./modules/C4/Output.pm: opaclanguages ./modules/C4/Output.pm: template ./modules/C4/Output.pm: opacthemes ./modules/C4/Output.pm: theme ./modules/C4/Output.pm: allowthemeoverride ./modules/C4/Output.pm: languageorder ./modules/C4/Print.pm: printcirculationslips ./modules/C4/Print.pm: printreserveslips ./modules/C4/Print.pm: printcirculationslips

Authorised values
by Jerome Vizcaino 05 Jun '03

05 Jun '03

Hi I've modified the authorised_values.pl file so that empty lib field is now inserted as a NULL value in the database. This way, values inserted without the lib field are now displayed correctly. The modified file is attached. Can anyone check my work and supply it to CVS ? I've modified lines 113-116. Thanks. Jerome

Templates and images
by Jerome Vizcaino 05 Jun '03

05 Jun '03

Hi I've been looking at the images in the templates lately and figured out that most of the buttons wasn't translated correctly (especially in the french template for example). I know that using PHP there's a way to generate images dynamically so that only the background of the button is needed and the text is printed on it before it is sent directly to the browser or stored on the disk and sent. Such a trick seems to be possible using Perl with the GD library. Could we think of using such an option to generate buttons dynamically so that translations would be made easier ? (someone might be yelling because of the "feature-freeze" :) Thanks Jerome

Authorised values
by Jerome Vizcaino 05 Jun '03

Hi I think there's a bug in the authorised values generation using the intranet Koha interface (using CVS or 1.9.3). When adding a value, the authorised_value and lib fields have to be entered. Unfortunately, when the lib field is empty, the string "" is stored in the database (and not NULL as expected) so when generating the drop-down list, the new value previously added isn't displayed properly (displaying a blank item). Can someone confirm it ? If it's really a bug I can try to fix it. Thanks. Jerome

Blocking an account
by Jerome Vizcaino 05 Jun '03

05 Jun '03

Hi I'm trying to figure out how to block a user account so that he cannot borrow books. I've found a flag labeled "Borrow books" in Koha 1.9.3 but unticking it and applying doesn't seem to block the account : using the librarian account (super user) I still can borrow books for the specified user without any warning or message telling that the user cannot borrow books. Am I doing something wrong or should I report a bug ? Thanks Jerome

The default template in 1.9.3 has the modify option, but the template for memberentry.pl doesn't show the option to debarr a borrower. -- Owen
