Quick spine label printing
by Moyra McAllister 11 Feb '14

11 Feb '14

Hi I’d like to use the quick spine label creator to produce spine labels ‘on demand’. Will this work with a label printer such as the Brother QL 570 or the Dymo Labelwriter 450? Does anyone have any experience with these or any other label printer? Thanks in anticipation Moyra Moyra McAllister Melbourne Athenaeum Library http://library.melbourneathenaeum.org.au Mob: 0409463663 E-mail: moyrab(a)internode.on.net

Fwd: [Koha-devel] Sound alerts RFC
by Bob Birchall 21 Dec '13

21 Dec '13

Forwarding this from the General list with apologies to readers of that list. Bug 11431 (see link below) is a proposal to further develop the options for sound alerts within Koha. If you would like to comment, add your remarks to the bug or reply to the list and we'll add them for you. Bob Calyx -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Koha-devel] Sound alerts RFC Date: Fri, 20 Dec 2013 14:10:02 -0500 From: Kyle Hall <kyle.m.hall(a)gmail.com> To: Koha Devel <koha-devel(a)lists.koha-community.org> Hey all, We have some partners who would like to have a bit more flexibility when it comes to audio alerts. 1) Have a new "alert" sound for most if not all alerts ( ie yellow alert boxes ), keeping the current sound as the "error" sound. 2) The ability to select new sounds for each of these ( success, alert, error ) I've added my development plan to Bug 11431 - Add additional sound options for warnings. If you have any comments on this idea, please add them! http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11431 http://www.kylehall.info ByWater Solutions ( http://bywatersolutions.com ) Meadville Public Library ( http://www.meadvillelibrary.org ) Crawford County Federated Library System ( http://www.ccfls.org ) Mill Run Technology Solutions ( http://millruntech.com )

Re: [Koha-oz] Koha-oz Digest, Vol 13, Issue 2
by David Cook 11 Dec '13

11 Dec '13

Hi Moyra: I just took a look at your site, and I bet it's because you have errors in your "opacuserjs" system preference. The code is trying to reference an undefined "logo" variable. When you have one Javascript error, it often causes a chain-reaction which prevents other Javascript from being run (like the Javascript which shows the images that you've uploaded). If you get someone at Calyx or at your library to fix that, you should be ok : ) -David -----Original Message----- From: koha-oz-bounces(a)lists.koha-community.org [mailto:koha-oz-bounces@lists.koha-community.org] On Behalf Of koha-oz-request(a)lists.koha-community.org Sent: Saturday, 7 December 2013 10:00 PM To: koha-oz(a)lists.koha-community.org Subject: Koha-oz Digest, Vol 13, Issue 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 7 Dec 2013 16:32:17 +1100 From: "Moyra McAllister" <moyrab(a)internode.on.net> To: "Koha-oz" <koha-oz(a)lists.koha-community.org> Subject: [Koha-oz] Local images Message-ID: <791B1459DD8143B69830C97F6FEE8A57@AMADEUS> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" I?m currently working on the Dementia Resources Library Catalog for the Brotherhood of St Laurence. Because this is a library of non book material most of the entries don?t have images (from Amazon or other sources). We?ve been uploading our own from photographs and distributors websites using the Upload Local Image tool. However these are not displaying in the Search results on the OPAC. Has anyone else had this problem? http://www.bsl.org.au:80/Dementia-Resources-Library/OPAC Moyra McAllister E-mail: moyrab(a)internode.on.net
