Hi Dorian, Thankyou for the great work on templates! I have been busy as well, and yes I agree we need a common strategy. I have borrowed lots of your templates.readme (I hope you dont mind) and put it up into a templating site: http://koha.org/contribute/templating/ I have to run now, and not that its not all working properly yet :-) But I will be back soon to write some more about what Im thinking..... regards Finlay On Tue, 2002-09-17 at 02:40, Dorian Meid wrote: > Hi Finlay, > i've created a new cvs-module koha-tmpl for the templating stuff. > the subdirectories are yet there. > over the weekend i was offline and so i also wrote a function for > Output.pm to deal with the templates, unfortunately i forgot it at home > and so couldn't commit it (will do tomorow). it works as described in > templates.readme > > we should decide for a common strategy before going on, since you are > the official templating-guy please tell me what do you think about it. > > dorian

Perl Bundle's
by Mike Mylonas 13 Sep '02

13 Sep '02

Following up from what was discussed during the IRC meeting (see http://www.haz.cmsd.bc.ca/cgi-bin/kohalog.pl?date=29Aug02 for the full log) One of the items that was discussed was the creation of a Perl Bundle which would then be registered with CPAN (CPAN is the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network, see http://www.cpan.org) I agreed to look into the creation of such a bundle, which I managed to play with this afternoon and it is certainly feasable (and remarkably simple to do). This raises a couple of questions. (1) Who wants to register with CPAN (someone may already be so) and maintain the Bundle. Note: I am willing to take this role on. (2) The name of the bundle. Options that have already been mentioned are Bundle::Koha, Bundle::KohaSupport etc. (3) Because of the fact that the person who takes on the role mentioned in (1), must register with CPAN with the usual userid's and passwords etc, I think that another person should also have access to the userid and password so that we do not end up with a potentially unmaintained bundle (I propose either Pat or Katipo) (4) It was discussed about the installation of the yaz client as part of the Bundle. This we believe is possible but will need to be investigated further, at this point in time I propose that we use just the perl modules as they stand, and modify the documentation to include the fact that the yaz client must be installed prior to running the installer, or installing manually. (5) With the registration with CPAN, I believe that there is a potential delay of 1 to 3 weeks. I would suggest that we hold of on the next stable release for this period (unless the next release is only a day or two away). Thoughts and opinions appreciated - so are flames, but please flame me personally not the list ;-) Mike

RC11 searching, more comments.

MySql seems to be robust with respect to unbackslashed apostrophe ' characters. According to the SQL standard, you quote apostrophe characters by doubling them up - I don't have the mysql documentation handy to know whether backslashing should work. I haven't added an entry to check that searching for something like "It's isn't" would find anything. (This is testing with the librarian interface - assuming that the public interface is the same). The searches don't seem to guard the input string except to require it to be non-blank. This means that searches like "%" or "_" as SQL wildcards will select all rows and single letter searches would select all rows on which a searched column contains a word beginning with that letter. Similar single common words "the", .... could give large result sets. This could be slow and expensive on large databases. On the sample database, when the list of results wouldn't fit on one page, moving to the next pageful with the right-arrow worked fine - but trying to jump to a particular page using the numbers gave a nothing found page. (I'm running on Debian so this could be associated with MySQL version if it isn't repeatable).

CVS or 1.3RC's?
by Ambrose Li 12 Sep '02

12 Sep '02

Hi, if I want to look at the MARC code (the library I work with uses MARC; it wouldn't make sense for me to look at something that doesn't use it), should I look at the CVS version, or should I look at the 1.3RC's? I'm a bit lost here because I did look at CVS, but the tarballs have a different directory structure than the CVS, and it is not obvious how to make a proper installation using the CVS version. If CVS is the way to go (for people who are willing to dab into the Perl code and stuff) and no one is working on installation docs, I'd be happy to update the installation docs for CVS; but if I shouldn't be looking at CVS, I'd be happy if someone told me I should look at the 1.3RC's instead. Is there a place I can look for lists of things like which parts of CVS (or the 1.3RC's) are working, and which parts are not working? Or which parts have people working on them? Sorry for asking so many questions. Many thanks in advance, -- Ambrose Li <a.c.li(a)ieee.org> http://trends.ca/~acli/ http://www.cccgt.org/ DRM is theft - We are the stakeholders
