WYSIWYG XML Editor Help
by Nicole Engard 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Hello all, Back when I started working on the manual someone here recommended XXE Personal Edition which was free for those working on open source projects. Well this is no longer the case. Either because of this, or the size of the manual, I can no longer save the manual when editing it in XXE (or I guess it could be a problem on my computer). Without commentary on my operating system ... I need a recommendation for a free (or cheap) WYSIWYG XML/Docbook editor that will run on Mac OSX. I got some recommendations - one for Lyx, which actually doesn't open or edit XML or Docbook (I have it installed and did try). Another was for Vex which I was able to install, but can't get to open the manual XML file I have. Others have said Oxygen but that's $500+ and I can't afford that. So, my criteria is simple - I need to be able to edit the manual as one document (because of the linking between sections) and the editor has to be WYSIWYG (I don't have time to write out the Docbook Code) and it has to validate Docbook and finally it has to run on Mac. As 3.10 looms closer I really need to get back to editing the manual and adding all of the new features, so send those ideas ASAP! Thanks in advance for any recommendations. Nicole

Dear community, When I delete a record it is still shown in the catalog, although when I try to open it koha responses that "The record you requested does not exist". How can simply eliminate the deleted record from the catalog (both OPAC and Intranet)? Thanks in advance, Haik.

Purchase request vanishes into thin air?
by Elaine Bradtke 08 Nov '12

08 Nov '12

Koha version 3.08.05. I tested the purchase suggestion feature - as I understand, it should come straight to the Koha admin e-mail address. But it doesn't (I checked the spam folder too). We have purchase suggestions enabled. . . OPAC user login is off, Anon. suggestions is set to allow. is there another setting somewhere I need to check? The e-mailing of lists seems to work fine (with the From: being the Koha admin e-mail address) so the problem isn't in the admin address. It also makes me wonder if we are not getting error messages (we haven't gotten any yet, either we're very lucky or something is awry???) -- Elaine Bradtke Data Wrangler VWML English Folk Dance and Song Society | http://www.efdss.org Cecil Sharp House, 2 Regent's Park Road, London NW1 7AY Tel +44 (0) 20 7485 2206 (This number is for the English Folk Dance and Song Society in London, England.

Lists; needed features, including location and staff level sharing
by Elaine Bradtke 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

We use 3.8 and are trying to enable our users to make more independent use of the catalog (instead of relying on the staff to look everything up, as they did in our old system). On the public service side, I can see at least two important uses for lists: 1) For staff to create mini-bibliographies for topics in high demand. 2) For patrons to choose what material they would like to consult - a shopping list as it were (and quite often, this list will be passed on to the staff, because they will need to retrieve some items from other locations). But, once you create a list, the printout is not very useful. In the OPAC, the list gives title, author, publishing info, availability and call number. Theoretically one could print out the list and then wander around the stacks fetching the items. But there's a serious flaw in the system. The list in the OPAC version, does not show the shelving location. Since only about a quarter of our collection is on open shelves (and some of it is located by size) this means the reader is going to get very frustrated. We have not included location information as part of the call number, as it can and does change, and would potentially complicate the browse the shelves feature. Imagine my surprise and disappointment when I discovered that the Staff interface view of the same lists gives substantially less (rather than more) information. If our staff needs to collect material from store rooms and locked cases, they have to print out individual records. This is actually a step backwards from our old database, where we could print out a list with the retrieval information for each item. We've disabled the Cart function, so I don't know if that is any worse or better. If it will show location, I will re-enable it. My second difficulty is the public / private settings for lists. It would be very useful to have a third choice: Staff only. Sometimes a list is a collaborative work, in progress, not ready (or intended) for public consumption, but more than one person needs access to it. Sometimes a list is useful for communicating with other staff members (we are rarely all in the same place at the same time) I designed some templates with default text for the staff to use for specific types of material, and I don't want these to be seen by the public, but if I make them private, then the staff can't see them either. Are solutions to the above problems in the pipeline for future versions of Koha? Or should I file a bug/enhancement?

Global Bug Squashing Weekend starts Friday!
by Owen Leonard 07 Nov '12

07 Nov '12

It was decided at the IRC general meeting yesterday that this weekend would be a Global Bug Squashing weekend, starting Friday November 9th and running through Monday November 12 in whatever time zone you choose. Not sure how you can help? Jump on the IRC channel ( http://koha-community.org/get-involved/irc/ ) and we will help you get started! And with the sandboxes provided by BibLibre all you need in order to join the fun is a web browser! http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/2012-11-09_Global_bug_squashing_day To those submitting patches, I ask again that every patch come with a test plan outlining: 1. What the problem is. 2. How to reproduce the problem. 3. What the patch does to solve the problem. 4. What (if any) configuration steps need to be taken after the patch is applied. 5. What steps to take to test that the patch is working correctly. And finally, even if you can't submit a patch or test a patch you can simply TEST! Kick Koha's tires and see if you can break something! -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
