Guten Tag, I've started a mailing list for german language discussion of german installation discussions of Koha. you can subscribe by sending an email to <koha-subscribe(a)de.koha.org> and following the instructions that are returned. As things progress to the point that a german website for koha is needed (or wanted) we can get that running as well. danke, -pate

branch tables in koha database
by finlay＠katipo.co.nz 26 Aug '02

26 Aug '02

Hey, I have been thinking about the branch settup in koha, and although it seems like a rash thing to do, I think a total redesign of the database branch settings is in order. At present: Each item has a "holdingbranch" field and a "currentbranch" field. Both of these store a branchcode that is the primary key into the branches table. However it turns out that this branches table stores data on two completely different conceptual things: 1) holdingbranch really refers to a collection of items. This is sometimes an actual physical location, and sometimes not. The holdingbranch setting does not (usually) change. 2) currentbranch refers to the actual current location of an item. This setting changes frequently. In the course of doing some branch transfers work I ended up setting up a complicated system of labeling the various entries in the branches table according to what really do: issuing or not, permanant collection, holding branch or currentbranch, etc. This has gotten to be a little bit complicated. And in particular now the HLT have identified a bug http://bugzilla.katipo.co.nz/show_bug.cgi?id=1390 the solution of which is really not nice in the current setting, even though it is a perfectly reasonable idea. I propose: To replace the existing branch tables (branches, branchcategories, branchrelations) with two tables: branches and collections. This does entail the rewriting existing code. However because I wrote most of that code I dont think it will be too difficult :-) Although this seems like a drastic measure given the simplicity of the bug in question, I think that it will be better for koha.

testing of 1.2.3RC9
by Tonnesen Steve 26 Aug '02

26 Aug '02

I've found a few bugs in 1.2.3RC9, mostly in the circulation interface. It looks to me like this needs some more testing... I've uploaded an RC10 to sourceforge that fixes the show stopper bugs that I found... but if anybody wants to give this one a look, I think it needs it. Steve.

Re: [Koha] Problem with koha-1.2.3RC10

Hi Steve, thanks for your mail, in the meanwhile I found the reason and fixed it, seemed to be a formatting problem in koha/intranet/htdocs/includes/templates/default/catalogue/detail-opac.cdiff in line 67. After concatenating three lines, the title links do work. Please see attached context diff. Presumably I should post it to koha-devel?

Koha Press Release

Nelsonville Public Library Chooses Open Source Aug 26, 2002 The Nelsonville Public Library will migrate its existing server to the open source Koha library system and will contribute to the further development of the Koha project. Nelsonville, OH, Aug 26, 2002 -- "We're going to move our library services onto Open Source platforms, culminating with the conversion of our existing server system to Koha." says Stephen Hedges of the Nelsonville Public Library (NPL). "We want to use the Internet to offer some cutting edge information services to our library patrons, but we realized that this would require us to have control of our automation and database software. We needed the freedom to change things, to change the code if necessary, because the types of things we want to do are not going to appear in commercial library software for years." Koha, being open source, provided the access that NPL required and the level of stability and functionality that they needed. NPL has committed to help support the development of Koha by funding some of the work on three specific projects. This support is seen as a wise investment, NPL expects to save as much money per year as they initially invest in Koha. More importantly, they will be able to offer what they consider to be "the best online services available anywhere in the world." "NPL's involvement is a real validation of our model." says Pat Eyler, Kaitiaki (manager) of the Koha project. "We've got a solid base system. As people want to add onto it, they can make a small investment to fund the work (far less than they would for a comparable closed source solution) and everyone will benefit. I hope that we'll see other libraries pitching in too." About the Nelsonville Public Library: NPL provides services to approximately 36,000 active borrowers through seven branches. Their collection includes over 250,000 items. For more information about the NPL, please see www.athenscounty.lib.oh.us About Koha: The Koha project started in 1999 in New Zealand when the Horowhenua Library Trust commissioned Katipo Communications to write a new library system for them. The system went live in 2000, and was released as Free Software during that year. Since then it has been installed in numerous libraries and has sprouted an active developer community that encompasses more than nine countries on four continents.
