Bugzilla Installation List
by Marcel de Rooy 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Hi Gerv, Was just checking the list of installations on Bugzilla. As a member of the Koha community, I just noticed that our Bugzilla installation is not listed correctly anymore (probably for some time already). Bugzilla for open source Koha is found here: http://bugs.koha-community.org/ The Koha open source community site is http://koha-community.org The two currently listed URLs refer to Liblime Koha. One of them is not working. Could you please adjust the listing? I am copying the Koha mailing list and Liblime Koha. If they still use Bugzilla, they may probably respond for themselves also. Thanks, Marcel

?s re Koha and Mac - server died
by Shelley & Kurt Kemperman 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

I work in a small school library. The school's computers run on an Apple server. When we installed Koha, the tech used a separate Dell server with Linux and connected it to the library Mac. The Dell server just died and I have some questions. Our new IT guy found a link to download Koha to a Mac, but that is version 3.0 - we originally had version 2.9, but I know that Koha is up to 3.6 at this point. Is it recommended to download to a Mac and if so, is there an updated version available? We do not need the capability to connect to other libraries in a network, but I do use the z39.50 function to import MARC records. So, first ?, should we go with the Mac download or install a new Linux server/computer? Second ?, our Koha records were backed up using CrashPlan so hopefully we didn't lose anything. When we re-download Koha (whether on a Mac or with Linux), I would love to use an updated version. Are we going to have problems restoring the original data into an updated version? Thanks for any info, Shelley

While I'm not sure what might be causing your problem, this at least points toward a local problem. Have you cleaned your cookies and flushed your browser cache on the client side? I'm not sure where you are storing your session data, but this might be worth a shot. Kind Regards, Chris

MyISAM vs InnoDB
by Tom Hanstra 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

I found a bit of information in the list archives but nothing very complete. What I'm curious about is the history of database storage as InnoDB vs. MyISAM in the MySQL database. It looks as if early versions of Koha were MyISAM but things switched to InnoDB at some point. Can someone give me a bit of the history of what made that change and why InnoDB is the desired storage method at this point. What functionality might be lost if I switched my local storage to MyISAM?

Adding web pages to Koha
by Brenner, Martin 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

Hi everyone, We just recently set up Koha 3.0.5 and we have it working the way we want it to. It is great. Now, I would like to add some web pages that have the same look and feel and maybe even some of the main OPAC functionality, but have different content. For instance, I would like another page that gives the links to the databases we have subscriptions to. (We currently have those in the "OpacMainUserBlock," but I'd like to use that real estate a different way if we could.) Ideally, I would love to have some other pages that our teachers could create for their research projects and even add discussion boards and other things similar to Moodle. (I fully realize this is a bit of a dream, and that I would have to install more software for some of the functionality.) I think I need to know more about CSS to get what I'm thinking about. Does anyone know a good walkthrough for something like this in Koha or even a good CSS tutorial in order to acomplish this type of stuff? Thanks for any time anyone is willing to give, Martin Martin Brenner Head Librarian Whitfield School St. Louis MO 63141 USA
