[Koha-devel] blank acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl

[Nathan Gray]

Here is the full background.  I installed Koha 2.0 on one computer, then 
downloaded from CVS onto another computer.  I linked from CVS to the
same directories where the installed files reside, and copied any
configuration files from the first computer.  Now both systems are
identical, except that one is using Koha 2.0 (from the tarball), and one
is using Koha from CVS (the HEAD branch, I believe).  Both point to the
same mysql database.

Because my database is empty, I am adding books from my personal
library.  On the computer with Koha 2.0, addbiblio.pl displays a page
with blank MARC tags.  I fill in the ISBN, hit Z3950 search, and then
the form gets filled in with the record I select from the popup.

On the computer with CVS Koha, addbiblio.pl displays a page with tabs,
but no MARC tags.  The buttons for "Add biblio" and  "Z3950 search" are
there, but no fields for me to fill in.

Both the script and the template have changed.  I plan on diffing the
files to see what has changed, and try to debug the problem.  I estimate
this will take several hours, since I didn't see anything obvious when I
diffed them yesterday.

I am hoping that someone might know what has changed, and be able to fix
it, or direct me to the area I should debug.

P.S. Thank you for that Koha Migration link.
