No check box in Default messaging preferences for patron category
by Vimal Kumar 25 Jun '10

25 Jun '10

Dear Friends, I installed Koha 3.02 Alpha. Email column in "Default messaging preferences for this patron category" under patron category does not shows option for checking. It seems blank.

So it is possible. However, I would not recommend it for a production system at present. Although fairly straightforward at present, the installation is not for the faint of heart or novitiate. And while functionality (including Zebra) seem solid, there appear to be at least some apache performance issues at the moment. There may be other issues which would need to be addressed as well. Since Win32 support is not paid development, it will probably be a long time in coming up to production status (if it ever does). > We are considering running Koha on a new Intel based Mac-Mini.

However, plenty of folks have Koha running over other distros as well. Search the list archives for hardware specs as well as setup recommendations.

I wait the answer of more skilled people. Koha 3.x is use and work in production on Macs BUT with high use of command line, without much help of GUI. In fact if you are skilled with Mac command line, you can use Linux. The Mac command line is a Unix, like Linux >Assuming we run it on Linux, what is the preferred distro? Would a >2.6 GHz Pentium 4 based Dell 2650 likely be up to the task? What >suggestions would you have for disk partitions? Ram and I/O speed ? Only 125 loans every day? In the peak hour how many loans ? How many bib and hold records insert/update every day ? The basic suggestion is on partition is "MySQL in one partition, Zebra in an other partition". The preferred distro is Debian for Koha. > I think we need to stay on >MySQL v4.1 also. Still true? This looks like a good option.

Raed this wiki page about holding in Koha: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Holdings_data_fields_(9xx) In the past we have a wiki page about a SirsiDynix conversion. I try to find it.

Problem with Statistics Wizard
by Zico 25 Jun '10

25 Jun '10

Hi, we are using Koha-3.0.5. The problem we are facing is, if we try to generate any report using "Statistics Wizards", nothing but only *Total 0 *comes for everything. Say, for Acquisitions, Patrons, Circulations or even Serials too. Can you provide me some hint to solve this problem. -- Best, Zico

Re: [Koha] how to enable different languages in OPAC
by Marilen Corciovei 24 Jun '10

24 Jun '10

Now you should be able to see the changes in your OPAC. I had a problem in 3.0.4 because Koha was using the browser locale to choose the opac language so first for testing I made sure my browser was asking for the correct language. There is a plugin for firefox called locale switcher which helped me with that. After this was working I changed something in koha in order to ignore the browser request and use only the first configured language.
