Wrong Links on Staff Client. (v. 3.4.1)
I know this ought be reported as a bug, but I am still just finding my way around the project and the community, so will first report it here. Situation:- Default install; of koha 3.4.1 on Debian. the database created by 3.000.1XX is restored, upgraded, the web installer has only asked the kohaadmin user the password and username. After doing the nitty and gritty of updating the database from 3.<whatever> version to 3.4.1, the web installer has forced the kohaadmin user to relogin, and I am now looking at the staff client page. On Left hand side, I am looking at the column starting with "News". Here is the entire html source as rendered in the browser. (beginquote) <div class="yui-b"> <div id="koha-news"> <h3>News</h3> <div class="newsitem" id="news2"><h4>What's Next?</h4> <p>Now that you've installed Koha, what's next? Here are some suggestions: <ul> <li><a href="http://kohadocs.org">Read Koha Documentation</a></li> <li><a href="http://wiki.koha.org">Read/Write to the Koha Wiki</a></li> <li><a href="http://koha.org/community/mailing-lists.html">Read and Contribute to Discussions</a></li> <li><a href="http://bugs.koha.org">Report Koha Bugs</a></li> <li><a href="http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:git_usage">Submit Patches to Koha using Git (Version Control System)</a></li> <li><a href="http://koha.org/community/irc.html">Chat with Koha users and developers</a></li> </ul> </p> <p class="newsfooter"> Posted on 29/10/2007 <a href="/cgi-bin/koha/tools/koha-news.pl?op=add_form&id=2">Edit</a> | <a href="/cgi-bin/koha/tools/koha-news.pl?op=del&ids=2">Delete</a> | <a href="/cgi-bin/koha/tools/koha-news.pl?op=add_form">New</a></p></div> </div><!-- /koha-news --> </div> </div> (endquote) I am not sure if the links in <li> items at top of the HTML snippet is a relic from the older backup; but surely, the installer / updater scripts should take care to fix them, right? Except the link to kohadocs.org, and koha.org (the LibLime one) site, all other links give me an error message - and I believe that this has nothing to do with dns resolution. (I use google's DNS). I suspect this snippet occurs the way it does because I have restored a backup (made using mysqldump) from 3.000.107 (will confirm later). -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

Yep, the news items are stored in the database. And because people may have edited them, or deleted and added new ones. It is not safe for the updater to try to change them. Not really a bug, just a feature of upgrading from an old version of Koha. All new ones install sample news items with the right links Chris -- Chris Cormack Catalyst IT Ltd. +64 4 803 2238 PO Box 11-053, Manners St, Wellington 6142, New Zealand

Thanks for that info; now how do I set this to default - default as in what a fresh 3.4.1 install will put in there?? -- Mahesh T. Pai || L'homme est libre au moment qu'il veut l'etre. * Man is free at the instant he wants to be.
