[Bug 130] Branch data entry form has unlabelled check box

This could be fixed by the use of a <TMPL_IF> statement rather than by embedding html in the script and passing it through to the template ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.

question about branch categories
by Ambrose Li 30 Nov '02

30 Nov '02

Hello, in 1.3.2, what are branch categories, and which part of the user interface is supposed to allow the user to enter these categories? Thanks ^_^ -- Ambrose Li <a.c.li(a)ieee.org> http://ada.dhs.org/~acli/cmcc/ http://www.cccgt.org/ DRM is theft - We are the stakeholders

http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=130 ------- Additional Comments From a.c.li(a)ieee.org 2002-11-30 22:24 ------- I found that it does not only have an unlabelled check box; the HTML for that unlabelled check box even has an empty name (NAME=""). branches.tmpl has the check box in the HTML; only the name of the check box is a template variable. Would it make more sense to have the whole check box as a template variable, not just the name? In that case we can avoid generating check boxes with no label and no name. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.

datas
by Ambrose Li 30 Nov '02

30 Nov '02

Hi, there's no "miscellaneous" or "others" for "component" in bugs.koha.org, so I'll say it here. The word "datas" occurs in a number of places in Koha (including the name of some directories). However, "data" is actually already plural; there is, afaik, no word "datas". -- Ambrose Li <a.c.li(a)ieee.org> http://ada.dhs.org/~acli/cmcc/ http://www.cccgt.org/ DRM is theft - We are the stakeholders

[Bug 135] New: Leaving rental charge blank gives misleading error message
by bugzilla-daemon＠wilbur.katipo.co.nz 30 Nov '02

30 Nov '02

http://bugs.koha.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=135 Summary: Leaving rental charge blank gives misleading error message Product: Koha Version: 1.3.2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Parameters AssignedTo: tonnesen(a)cmsd.bc.ca ReportedBy: a.c.li(a)ieee.org QAContact: koha-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net In Item Types Admin, if I try to enter an item type with the "rental charge" left blank (e.g., if my library does not rent its items, so I thought it is not applicable), I get an error message "Loan length is not a number". If I, at this point, erase the loan length out of puzzlement, I get two identical error messages ("Loan length is not a number" twice). Viewing the source reveals that the wrong error message is displayed if the check for rental charge fails. (Are these checks only performed by Javascript? Browsers do not necessarily have Javascript support/enabled.) ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact.

foraging again
by Tonnesen Steve 29 Nov '02

29 Nov '02

http://142.28.183.110/cgi-bin/koha/forage2 This forage demo is based on the dewey classification subjects available at http://www.oclc.org/dewey/ As I suspected, this list is made available under the following rather onerous license: ============================================================================ Libraries with ongoing subscriptions to WebDewey in CORC or Dewey for Windows may post the DDC21 Summaries (i.e., the first three levels of the Dewey Decimal Classification - for example, 500 Science is Level 1, 510 Mathematics is Level 2, 513 Arithmetic is Level 3) on their web sites solely for the internal, noncommercial purpose of organizing the resources made available to their patrons via such web sites. Such use of the DDC 21 Summaries should be accompanied by the following notice on the initial screen: The Dewey Decimal Classification is 1996-2001 OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Incorporated. Used with Permission. DDC, Dewey, and Dewey Decimal Classification are registered trademarks of OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Incorporated. All other use of the DDC requires prior written permission from OCLC Forest Press. To request a licensing proposal, please send an e-mail message to DeweyLicensing(a)oclc.org, describing in detail your proposed use of the DDC. ============================================================================ My understanding of this is that we cannot use the list of dewey subject classifications in Koha. I'm even breaking the terms of the license with my little demo here. Also, this list is limited to the top three levels of the classification. (ie 956, but not 956.4). To get the full classification, you need to purchase the DDC21 book at $325 US. The license on this data would undoubtedly be even harsher than that on the first three levels. Steve

Wondering about RFID support
by Francisco M. Marzoa Alonso 29 Nov '02

29 Nov '02

Greetings, I cannot see from this lab how is the weather like in Madrid... One of my main goals in the use of koha (when I'll be able to understand it, in one or two centuries...) is to implement RFID support on it to substitute these old, slow, obsolete and "de modè" barcode readers ;-) There are some differences between barcode readers and RFID ones, the ones that makes the matter are: - RFID reader can read several tags at once - RFID reader read continously, instead by user interation - As far as I know, by its wide application field, there are no RFID reader devices that can be connected between keyboard and PC emulating typing. The ones that we develop can be connected directly to a serial port using RS232 or RS484 or by Ethernet with an aditional module. So, it seems not to be possible to have the reader conected directly in a terminal station. I think the best solution could be code a daemon in the server side that deals with RFID readers, and then a CGI script that deals with that daemon to perform read/write operations. The readers can be directly connected to serial port on little libraries, where the server and the reader could be near, and through Ethernet where there is a big distance between them. I would like to hear opinions if available, of course. Thx.

Duplicated files
by Francisco M. Marzoa Alonso 29 Nov '02

29 Nov '02

Greetings, today its Friday :D I've several duplicated files in both modules, koha and koha-html. For example, there are images duplicated between /koha-html/opac-html/images and /koha/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/default/en/images. I think the ones below /koha-html/opac-html/images can be ignored, can someone confirm me this? thx.

What's a "Dewey"?
by Francisco M. Marzoa Alonso 28 Nov '02

28 Nov '02

It's used in cmsd.tmpl. I've found it on dictionary.com but I didn't be able to determine what's the right definition, the closest match in context could be: Dewey, Melvil. 1851-1931. American librarian and founder of the decimal system of classification (1876). But I really don't know what are doing Melvil Dewey at my computer O_O
