Mysql 5.1 with Debian Lenny
by Stefano Bargioni 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

The stable release of Debian is 5.0 Lenny. It installs Mysql 5.0, which doesn't include XML functions like ExtractValue. Since I'm very interested in XML functions, I'd like to know if anybody upgraded Mysql to 5.1, from scratch or from apt-get using alternative sw sources. Thanks. Stefano

Koha - Patrons Renewal option
by KLib Tech Support 22 Jan '11

22 Jan '11

Hi, We have an issue with our Koha installation related to Patrons renewal option. Say I've a patron who has monthly membership effective 10-Jan-2011. If the patron arrives for renewal on 15-Feb-2011 instead of 10-Feb-2011, what happens is the renewal happens from 15-Feb-2011 to 15-Mar-2011. Ideally I want it to happen from 10-Feb-2011 to 10-Mar-2011. There is an option to do this manually right now. Was wondering if there is any better way to handle this. Thanks, Klb Library India.

isbn / ean issues
by alen vodopijevec 21 Jan '11

21 Jan '11

Hi, I would like to show 13-digit ISBN (ean compatible) on opac .. We have 13-digit isbn in 'biblioitems.isbn' but I'm not sure how to get this info in opac-detail.pl. Using 'normalized_ean' in template produces nothing :) because it implies having 024 field value.. I could add GetNormalizedEAN--something() function to do something similar as GetNormalizedISBN but I'm not sure what's the proper (Koha) way to achieve what I want. So, how to properly handle 10 and 13 digit ISBN-s? tnx, -- alen
