For anyone travelling by rail to kohacon national rail has a site which should detail any scheduled disruptions (as Monday & Tuesday are public holidays) http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/seasonal/Jubilee_2012/ind… The London to Edinburgh east coast mainline appears to be disruption free, west coast main line looks a bit more problematic Cheers Colin -- Colin Campbell Chief Software Engineer, PTFS Europe Limited Content Management and Library Solutions +44 (0) 800 756 6803 (phone) +44 (0) 7759 633626 (mobile) colin.campbell(a)ptfs-europe.com skype: colin_campbell2 http://www.ptfs-europe.com

Fwd: opac error log error

Can anyone tell us what this means? Thanx. >>> From: Hilary Forrest To: Lenora Oftedahl Date: 5/23/2012 9:05 AM Subject: opac error log error [Wed May 23 09:02:11 2012] [error] [client 66.249.67.249] [Wed May 23 09:02:11 2012] opac-search.pl: Use of uninitialized value $lang in string eq at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Templates.pm line 336. Looks like some parameter is not being set - it should have a default. Again - not sure if this has an effect but I want my logs to be clean!

Competing patron messages
by Owen Leonard 23 May '12

23 May '12

We currently have two different ways to add messages to a patron's record: You can add an "OPAC note" or "Circulation note" when editing the patron record, or you can add a "Message" from the checkout screen. Is there any reason to continue to offer these two options? I propose that we eliminate the notes which are stored in the borrowers table and migrate them to the messages table. Since the messages table includes the library where the message was set, we could add the patron's home library as the message's originating library. Are there reasons why libraries are choosing to set messages via the patron edit interface rather than the circulation interface? -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
