Zebra - finding proper modules
by Tom Hanstra 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

I'm having trouble getting Zebra to properly index my database. I have updated the configuration files in etc/zebradb with the location of my Zebra modules. I have them in a separate directory (/shared/zebra/lib/idzebra-2.0/modules). But, from everything I can see, Koha is not seeing these properly. When I re-index using the rebuild_zebra.pl script, I see no indication that it is properly finding these modules, with the result that I get no indexes. How can I be sure that Koha is seeing these properly? And if it is not finding my version, what do I have to change so that it does?

Fulfillment and integration/connecting with Koha?
by David Schuster 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Is this being worked on by any Koha libraries or is there interest? I see Ohionet? is sponsoring a lot of the work and they are in the Q7 now of development based on what is mentioned in this blog post: http://www.fulfillment-ill.org/blog/?p=9 I see this as a huge opportunity for a library and an MLIS grant possibility. I know the State of Texas has contracted with OCLC to manage our "state" ILL system, but what a great opportunity this could be... -- David Schuster Plano ISD Library Technology Coordinator

some overdue messages not sending
by Lesley Kimball 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Hi everyone, I know that most of our e-mail overdue notices are going out -- I can see them listed in patron's messaging/notices and sometimes people reply or tell us they've gotten the e-mail. But, I have one patron who should be getting e-mails and he hasn't and there isn't anything in his messaging/notices. When there is an incorrect e-mail address Koha still sends a message but then I get the bounce-back. In this case there is nothing at all. Has anyone run into this before? We are using 3.4 Thanks, Lesley ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians. -- Monty Python, "Gorilla Librarian" sketch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lesley Kimball Director Wiggin Memorial Library Stratham, NH <mailto:Director@WigginML.org> Director(a)WigginML.org

Task scheduler
by Cab Vinton 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

In whatever version of Koha we're running, it appears that the Task Scheduler can not be used to schedule tasks on a recurring basis, e.g., once a week, every 14 days, etc. (I'm thinking of running Reports periodically, in particular.) Is this accurate? Thank you, Cab Vinton, Director Sanbornton Public Library Sanbornton, NH "Politeness and consideration for others is like investing pennies and getting dollars back." Thomas Sowell

Text Messaging of Notices
by Nora Blake 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Hello all, MassCat is looking at doing some development to Koha to allow for text messaging of notices without the need for a third party vendor to manage the messaging. ByWater is currently working up specifications for this project. It looks like the cost will be in the $5,000-$6,000 range. Anyone interested in working with us on this and sharing the cost? If you are, please let me know. Nora ________________________ Nora Blake MassCat Manager Massachusetts Library System P.O.

I was doing some research to try and see if there is any sort of computer reservation/ computer management system module in the pipeline for koha. If there is not, is a module of this type even feasible to create for koha? Thanks Melissa Parker SEKLS

3.4.4 - Install with zebra moved
by Tom Hanstra 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

How does one properly install Koha with Zebra not in the default (/var) location? During the install process, I'm asked for and can relocate the primary Koha software directory. But when asked if I want to use Zebra, I'm not given the same choices. And when Koha sets up locations for Zebra in koha-config.xml, all are default locations. How do I get around this?

2011-09-02 Global bug squashing day #4 - It's on! Join the fun!
by Magnus Enger 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Dear Community! Just a gentle reminder that GBSD#4 started about half an hour ago, in Kiribati. If Friday September 2nd is inconvenient for you in your timezone you might want to consider diving in now, to get a head start! ;-) For those watching at home, a lot of the changes on Bugzilla will be tweeted here: http://twitter.com/#!/KohaGBSD Best regards, Magnus Enger ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Magnus Enger <magnus(a)enger.priv.no> Date: 30 August 2011 08:35 Subject: 2011-09-02 Global bug squashing day #4 To: Koha list <koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz>, koha-devel(a)lists.koha-community.org Dear Community! Just a gentle reminder that GBSD#4 is approaching fast: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/2011-09-02_Global_bug_squashing_day Please bear in mind that the Release Manager has declared the following dates: * Feature freeze – 22 September 23:59 UTC – From this point on, no new features will be considered for inclusion into 3.6.0 * String freeze – 8 October 23:59 UTC – no bugs that change templates accepted after this point. This allows the translators to translate without things changing on them http://koha-community.org/key-dates-3-6-0/ That means we have about 3 weeks for getting any new features in! And there are (at the moment) 83 (!) bugs/patches waiting to be signed off: http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/buglist.cgi?bug_status=NEW&bug_sta… See one in there that you would like to make sure makes it into Koha 3.6? YOU can help it along by signing off on it! http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Sign_off_on_patches Of course, we should take every opportunity to sign off patches in the coming weeks, but why not make a concerted effort on Friday September 2nd 2011 (in your timezone) and see how far we can get, as a team? Could we cut the queue in half? Happy hunting! Magnus Enger PS And you don't have to be a developer to help either!
