Koha-1.1.0 availiable
by Chris Cormack 26 Feb '01

26 Feb '01

Hi all Koha version 1.1.0 is now available for download from http://www.koha.org/download/ It should be available from http://sourceforge.net/projects/koha/ very soon also. Lots of changes in this version, hence the jump to 1.1.0 The biggest changes are to do with circulation. There is now a comprehensive circulation API which makes building circulation modules to use your chosen interface much much easier. There is also now a web based circulation section that uses this module. Im planning to rewrite the telnet based circ to use slang and the new API. Version 1.1.1 is likely to follow closely on 1.1.0's heels so if bugs are spotted please report them to me and ill fix them before 1.1.1 Thanks Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 025 500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris(a)katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz

Anonymous CVS access at sourceforge
by Chris Cormack 26 Feb '01

26 Feb '01

Hi All Im just working on packaging up a new version of koha for release. And have just notice anonymous cvs access at sourceforge is working again The instructions for how to do it are at http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=16466 The 2 modules that are there are koha (the scripts and perl modules) and koha-html (the html funnily enough :-) ) This means you should be able to checkout latest copies of the code. New tarball should be out soon Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 025 500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris(a)katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz

MARC records
by Father - Mike Johnson 20 Feb '01

20 Feb '01

Hi.. I found Koha while searching for GPL software to use in a scalable way in my son's school library... I have to say I was much impressed with Koha. Does anyone know if Koha supports MARC records... this was a question that came up. I realize there is a perl (ariadne) project dealing with MARC, but since I have little experience with Koha or Ariadne, I didn't know if this was supported. Infact, I only recently learned of the existance of MARC records, so I'm not sure if this is appropriate. Also, is anyone providing paid support for Koha? Mike

Hi All Just a note to advertise the existence of a Koha developers mailing list. koha-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net This list receives mail generated by cvs everytime a file is committed to the CVS tree. So is a great way to keep abreast of changes. And also is a place to discuss developer issues. You can subsribe to the list from http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/koha-devel Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 025 500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris(a)katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz

Hi, What should one do to all the files from the koha-cvsroot.tar.gz that end with *.pl,v? I thought I will get files ready for consuption, instead what you get is an image what is in the cvs at the moment:-) I suppose there is a program or a command the trims the *.pl,v files of all the cvs related additions. Please, help. Benedict PS> I didn't see any INSTALL files int the repository. You probably anticipate already what my next questions will be :-) --

i18n work layout
by Benedykt P. Barszcz 08 Feb '01

[sorry if you receive this message twice] Hi, Could someone answer these questions: To use Locale::gettext we need to include the followiing in each *.pl script I guess (don't know about *.pm or HTML files yet): # locale::gettext initializations use POSIX; use gettext; setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, ""); bindtextdomain("", ""); textdomain(""); # end of initializations 1. What to do with textdomain(""), should the argument be changed for each script, like so? textdomain("search") textdomain(opac-search"), etc? 2. What to do with bindtextdomain's() two arguments, should we point to any directory or leave it empty, like so: bindtextdomain("<??>","/usr/local/www/koha/locale")? I know there is already a separate directory for intranet and opac. Do we need a common directory for locale *.mo files? How to accomplish it? 3. What to do with setlocale(), should we include LC_MONETARY (if such exists) to be able to allow for different currencies in koha? thank you for instructing me in right direction. Benedict PS. Allow me to include some of the files for you to check out. Could anyone try to use them? I can't figure out why localized messages do not appear as they are supposed to... . Here is what I do: # cp ./pl/LC_MESSAGES/koha.mo /usr/share/locale/pl/LC_MESSAGES/ # cp ./script-i18n/*.pl /usr/local/www/koha/cgi-bin/koha/ # cp ./script-i18n/*.pl /usr/local/www/opac/cgi-bin/koha/ It doesn't work though. I still get English . Thanks for hints Benedict ------------------------------------------------------- --

tar ball automatic?
by Benedykt P. Barszcz 05 Feb '01

05 Feb '01

I am just curious, is http://sourceforge.net/cvstarballs/koha-cvsroot.tar.gz an automatic, nightly tarball, or is it something a project admin prepares? If so, anonymous cvs access can be circumvent by downloading that tarball. anybody knows anything?

Systempreferences table
by Tonnesen Steve 05 Feb '01

05 Feb '01

I've added support for systempreferences via the systemprefs() subroutine in Search.pm and a systempreferences table in the database. The systempreferences table: create table systempreferences (variable char(50), value char(200)); So far, the only pref I'm using is for choosing an acquisition module: variable='acquisitions', value='normal' or 'simple' If the systempreferences table doesn't exist, you'll get errors in the apache logs, but acquisitions will still default to normal. Also, I haven't added my simple acquisitions module to cvs yet. Steve.
