Install questions.
by Robert Rickenbrode 15 Aug '01

15 Aug '01

Hey folks, spent about an hour wrestling with Koha to get things running and have a few questions: 1. It looks like the virtual hosting is required, since a lot of the hypertext links go to a root folder (like /reports). I've done a little work (mostly on the index pages) to change this (/koha/reports, for example) and realize that this is probably going to require touching every file. Is this true? Anyone have any suggestions on getting things running on a single machine with a single IP Address with a single name? 2. I can get circulation running, but when I try to open it, all I get is a blank page. I've added one branch via the commandline...do I have to do more to get things going? Thanks, Rob Robert Rickenbrode Cesar Chavez Public Charter High School __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

Koha 1.1.1
by Robert Rickenbrode II 31 Jul '01

31 Jul '01

Hey folks, I think the sourceforge files are ok. It looks to me like the circulation script did not like the fact that I hadn't entered any printers in the printers table. Robert K. Rickenbrode II rkr_ii(a)yahoo.com

koha customization (wishlist)
by Florian Bischof 28 Jul '01

28 Jul '01

I really love koha, it has tons of features and a really nice interface. but it's kind of frustrating for me to see that all the html interface code is mixed with perl code (or the perl code mixed with html...). :) this way it's pretty hard to customize koha and give it your own "flavour". what about using some template-engine like HTML::Template? it's easy to use, fast and your code gets much cleaner. it would be also cool if there would be a global configuration file for system preferences like main currencies or membership categories. thanks for your hard work --Florian
