Can Koha support two different classification systems simultaneously?
by Dianna Roberts 01 May '12

01 May '12

A hypothetical question. We use DDC classification but if we were to add a branch library that uses LC classification would this be possible? And to have both showing in the same list of search results?

Right To Left in Arabic KOHA
by Karam Qubsi 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

Hi all . I'm looking to develop the result of koha translation process in Arabic as you know the Arabic language is deffer from English in Arabic we read and write from right to left this is possible to be modified by hand but if we want to create an Arabic version of koha we need to make the text by default goes from right to left . so what we have to do to make this koha Arabic Version ? and make it as a choice in the installations steps when selecting Arabic. I think my group can edit the css files and make this ok (direction rtl ) but how to make this changes Permanent for every new Arabic Koha installation can we make some default template for Arabic language , or that can be selected from the po files in some way ? or it must be included in the koha package , or what ? Both Arabic and Hebrew, and the non-Semitic languages using the Arabic or the Hebrew alphabet, such as Persian and Yiddish, are written from right to left (except for their numbers!). Urdu which is also derived from Arabic and Persian language and ancient indo - aryan language binti is written from right to left. Ancient Egyptian, Etruscan, Greek and the oldest Latin could be written in both directions. Also Chinese and Japanese can be written right to left (also written from top to bottom, vertically). Korean is NOT written from right to left I wish we discuss this to make the next koha version fully supported for Arabic language Kind regards -- Karam Qubsi Koha Arab translation Team http:koha.wikibrary.org Wikibrary for Arab librarians http://wikibrary.org

I have successfully recovered from failures as described (any previous corruption of *data* will not be fixed.) Lessons: you never have too many backups and innodb can be sensitive to insipid HD failure - consider a RAIDed setup. Also note that this email is not technical advice, and I take no responsibility whatsoever for success or failure.

Books to be checked in at home library message
by amutsikiwa 30 Apr '12

30 Apr '12

Hi I have a koha site which used to run one branch library. Now I have brought in another branch library, so they are two independent libraries. I think there is any mis-configuration of one of the system preferences. Now, when a book is been checked in at one of the libraries to which it belongs, a message is popping up indicating that the book should be checked in at the home library. I can not figure out how to resolve this issue Regards, Admire

Oh no. :( This is not good. But, we suspect that the problem is on the InnoDB. Do you know any procedure to repair InnoDB? we have found out that the database (structure) is intact. However, the data (ibdata1) is corrupted. Do we have a way to repair it?

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'

Good day everyone! I am currently experiencing:Koha error The following fatal error has occurred: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) at /usr/share/koha/lib/C4/Context.pm line 666.

I've tried Google-ing some "resolutions" to this kind of problem, but any of it didn't work. In this error says that, "mysqld.sock" is not found. When I go to the /var/run/mysqld/ directory, and type *ls*, no file is contained. But when we try to *locate*, it tells us that the mysqld.sock is in that particular directory. we have no backup of the database. We really need to retrieve it.
