1 bug, 2 commentaries and 1 question hello, bug : I can't delete the stopwords that i created (koha admin page) commentaries : 1. I believe that a system must allow to enter simultaneously one or more stopwords (separated by comma ) 2. I want to use the browser in a kiosk mode, nevertheless some pages do not have the navegation buttons ( for example if I enter in the page of stopwords, I cannot return directly to the koha admin page -in a kiosk mode- ) question: How change the language of koha (-> to spanish) ? thanks in advance, pAblO

Selecting Categories from Koha Admin page
by Larry Currie 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

I have set up 8 categories of borrowers by using insert statements in MySQL, but when I try to view them in preferences on the Koha Admin page http://libcat.calacademy.org:8080/cgi-bin/koha/admin/categorie.pl all I get is a blank screen. I'm betting that this has been fixed in the CVS, but can someone tell me what to do to correct this? Thanks. Larry Currie -- Lawrence W.

New Notforloan field in table Itemtypes
by Larry Currie 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

I've encountered a new field called "notforloan" that has been added to the structure of the table "itemtypes" in version 1.9.0, although perhaps it's been in some earlier versions also. Can someone advise me as to the values that could be assigned to this field and what meaning each would have? Thanks. Larry Currie -- Lawrence W.

Questions Concerning Koha - MARC Links
by Larry Currie 24 Feb '03

24 Feb '03

Has anyone had success setting up their Koha - MARC links so that they eliminate errors on the Check MARC page. I'm reluctant to set up the biblio.biblionumber and biblioitems.biblioitemnumber fields in the 090a and 090b fields because we use these for our LC call numbers. Here are the settings I have tried, without success: for items.itemnumber, 995s. for biblioitems.itemtype, 840h. for items.homebranch, 852a and for items.holdingbranch, 852b. for biblioitems.biblionumber, 851e and for biblioitems.biblioitemnumber, 851f.

Re: QA testing Koha

Hi Eli, This is a great question, so I'd like to answer it to a wider audience. There are actually several levels of opportunity here. The simplest (and least organized) would be to just play with a local installation and try to break things then make bug reports at bugs.koha.org. The next step up would be to be an 'acceptance tester', basically this means that you'd be following (and helping to develop) a testing 'script' which you'd follow on each release candidate. This work would be coordinated by a single individual who would be responsible for letting us turn a release candidate into a 'real' release. On the development side, we also need experienced testers to help write code level functional and unit tests for a 'regression test suite'. The plan is that this suite is run at least daily against the Koha code base to ensure that we're not introducing new bugs, or re-opening old ones while we make changes and additions to Koha. We also need to find a single person who's interested (and capable) of coordinating/managing all of these functions. He or she doesn't need to be a programmer, but it certainly wouldn't hurt. I've had a couple of people contact me about various parts of this. I'm currently treading water ... I don't want to move too agressively until we've got a QA manager in place. I hope this answers your questions. -pate > > Thanks, > > --Eli Naeher > Lower Cape Fear Historical Society >

he panui Koha [20 Feb 2003]
by Pat Eyler 20 Feb '03

20 Feb '03

He Panui Koha 20 Feb 2003 Hello everyone, It's been quite a while since I've put one of these out, so I thought I'd better knuckle down and send something out this week. There's been a lot of activity since the New Year and not all of it has gotten the attention it deserves. In the world of Koha 1.2, Chris and Steve have put out a 1.2.3 release which is seeing a good deal of interest with over 1300 downloads from sourceforge! If you're using Koha and haven't upgraded yet, you might want to check out 1.2.3. Paul has been busy with Koha 2.0 as well. He released 1.9.0 at the beginning of February. This release hase been downloaded nearly 350 times already -- not bad for a beta release! It also looks like a 1.9.1 version is coming up quickly so if you've grabbed a copy of 1.9.0 and not let people know about problems, you should get right on it. Speaking of problems, I'm not sure how many of you know about the Koha bugzilla tool. You can see the tool by looking at http://bugs.koha.org -- you can submit bugs (or feature requests there too). There are currently 47 bugs/feature requests against the development (pre 2.0) version ... Should we have a bug stomping day to try and knock these down? Language support is continuing to move along. I had a request from some Koha users interested in organizing a translation into Breton. If anyone is interested in helping out, please contact me. We've also seen more work on French, Spanish, and Chinese. Koha is getting international notice as well. Nicolas Morin wrote to say: "Koha is getting good publicity in France. In it's Feb 2003 issue, the French monthly periodical ARCHIMAG [www.archimag.com] which is widely read among french librarians and also among "documentation centers" people in businesses, features a 3 pages article on Open Source solutions in this sector. Koha figures quite prominantly and positively in the article, alongside such general purpose softwares as Zope. The article goes into a bit of history, mentionning the beginning of the adventure with Horowhenua and Katipo, back in 2000, it then describes the current features and those that will be available in the upcoming 2.0 release (MARC support), and finally deals with the growing Koha community among french speaking librarians." Linux Journal published an article about Koha in their February issue too. A third article is available at: http://www.linuxworld.com.au/index.php?id=1466489879 (sorry for the long URL, but I thought is was better than making you search for it.) If you see interesting articles about Koha, or are interested in writing one, please let me know. One last project related note. We're trying to find some QA testers to join the development effort. If you're interested, please get in touch with me. thanks, Pat Eyler kaitiaki(a)koha.org
