It's a template::toolkit formatted file. The perl file that drives it is opac-main.pl. However: if you make changes to these that you don't upstream, you are seriously hurting your chances of having smooth future upgrades ever again. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5957 6D23 8B16 EFAB FEF8 7175 14D3 6485 A99C EB6D

Re: [Koha] 3.4.3 on opensuse 11.4 SMS::Send Date::ICal problem
by clint.deckard 31 Aug '11

31 Aug '11

Hi again, Koha 3.4.3 on Opensuse 11.4. the suggested solutions to my recent SMS::Send and Date::ICal issue with the web installer did not work. I continued to receive the error. I suspect the cause is elsewhere in my install. My lack of skill restricts my trouble shooting ability. Earlier, I had trouble installing Unicode::UCD or rather finding UnicodeData.txt and in my efforts to rectify this I think I introduced more problems by (blindly) installing a newer version of perl. so I did a reinstall of opensuse 11.4 and started again. This is where I think I went wrong. Make test failed with this error; # Failed test 'use C4::Barcodes::PrinterConfig;' # at t/00-load.t line 32. # Tried to use 'C4::Barcodes::PrinterConfig'. # Error: Unicode::UCD: failed to find UnicodeData.txt in /home/clint/koha-3.04.03/blib/PERL_MODULE_DIR /home/clint/koha-3.04.03/blib/arch /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.3/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.3 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3 /usr/lib/perl5/5.12.3/x86_64-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.12.3 . at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3/PDF/API2/Resource/Font/BdFont.pm line 45 Apparently there is a bug in Unicode::UCD where UnicodeData.txt is not installed with Unicode::UCD but with perl-doc. I installed perl-doc with yast but error remains. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678877 the bug has been fixed but to get the new version in Cpan I get this cpan[1]> install Unicode::UCD Reading '/root/.cpan/Metadata' Database was generated on Thu, 18 Aug 2011 14:31:11 GMT Running install for module 'Unicode::UCD' The most recent version "0.30" of the module "Unicode::UCD" is part of the perl-5.13.9 distribution. To install that, you need to run force install Unicode::UCD --or-- install J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.13.9.tar.gz Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible Failed during this command: JESSE/perl-5.13.9.tar.gz : make NO isa perl Last time I tried "force install Unicode::UCD" and was asked like fifty questions, most I didn't understand. It did seem to solve this problem but it appeared I ended up with two installs of perl that then caused problems. I am way out of my depth. Installing Koha on opensuse 11.4 is proving to be quite a mission. What now? Thank you, Clint.

FW: Error appearing upon scanning/entering Barcodes - PLEASE HELP!!!

Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2011 23:57:08 +1000 Hi All, Before upgrading from Koha 2.2.9 on Windows Server 2003 to Koha 3, I set up a virtual test server of Koha 3 on my Mac with this test install using Zebra. With Zebra enabled in my test environment, I found that when I added items to the Bibliographic database, I had to wait a good ten minutes for Zebra to reindex before that Bibliographic Record/Item Record would appear in the OPAC, whereas with 'NoZebra' the Bibliographic Record/Item Record appears immediately in the OPAC once you click 'add' in the Staff Client. I like to know I have the functionality of when I add in an item to the system, that it will instantly appear in the OPAC, and not have to wait ten minutes for Zebra to reindex every time a record is added to the database. My test environment was on a Intel Core 2 Duo machine with 4GB RAM. I hope that sheds some further light on my choice of 'NoZebra'. I'm hoping there is someone out there in the Koha Community whom is able to help me past this problem I'm having.
