Amazon Reviews not displaying
by Chris Morrison 12 Feb '10

12 Feb '10

Our recent upgrade to 3.0.05 went smoothly (thanks for helping us with the label problem we had), and pretty much everything works now except the Amazon reviews. We get jacket covers both in the results page and detailed views, but the reviews tab isn't displaying. Further, when we click the image in the detailed view, we get a "page not found" error. For example, see this record: http://koha.lru.edu/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=76740 But the image tries to take you to this page: http://www.amazon /gp/reader/0805447857/ref=sib_dp_pt/002-7879865-0184864#reader-link Which obviously doesn't work. Actually, it looks like it would need to go to: http://www.amazon.com/Killing-Cockroaches-Scattered-Musings-Leadership/dp/0… Associate tags and AWS key are both filled in and it looks like all appropriate switches are turned on (AmazonContent, AmazonSimilarItems, OPACAmazonContent, OPACSimilarItmes). I searched the lists and didn't see this answered yet--just one person who couldn't get the covers to display and needed a patch (for 3.0.04). Thoughts?

Hi all, There has been a lot of commentary on the recent acquisition including a few librarians chiming in (which you know I love). Anyway, I compiled a list of links of those I have found so far - including an article from OStatic (which I think is pretty cool). If you have another post to add to this list just reply here. I'll put all of these links in the next newsletter. * http://ostatic.com/blog/koha-optimistic-that-forked-tree-and-troubles-are-h… * http://leephillips2.wordpress.com/2010/01/16/a-request-to-ptfs-from-montana… * http://wizzyrea.wordpress.com/2010/01/15/if-all-goes-well-a-bright-new-day-… * http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6714841.html * http://blog.bigballofwax.co.nz/2010/01/14/ptfs-acquires-liblime/ * http://bywatersolutions.com/?p=320 * http://collaborativelibrarianship.wordpress.com/2010/01/13/major-shake-ratt… Thanks Nicole

Koha support from Equinox
by Galen Charlton 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

Hi, As some of you know, I'm Galen Charlton, release manager for Koha 3.2. I have some news to share from my employer, Equinox Software, Inc. We will start offering services for Koha, including hosting, support, migration, and development. Our initial focus will on hosting and support, but we'll be active in development as well. Equinox has been supporting and developing another big open source ILS, Evergreen, since 2006, and Equinox's founders were heavily involved in the creation of Evergreen for the Georgia PINES consortium. We'll be using our Evergreen experience and in-house Koha experience to support both ILSs for our customers. We'll also work to bring good ideas from Koha into Evergreen, and vice versa. Equinox is committed to the public, mainstream Koha. We will be extending the Equinox Promise [1] to our Koha customers. In particular, all code that we develop for our Koha customers will be submitted in a timely fashion and will always be available in a convenient form for anybody to use and improve. Our hosted customers will always have direct access to the source code and Git repositories for their particular Koha setups and local customizations. We will encourage and support any customers of ours who want to directly participate in Koha development. [1] http://blog.esilibrary.com/2009/09/16/the-equinox-promise/ Regards, Galen -- Galen Charlton VP, Data Services Equinox Software, Inc. / The Evergreen Experts email: gmc(a)esilibrary.com direct: +1 352-215-7548 skype: gmcharlt web: http://www.esilibrary.com/ Please join us for the Evergreen 2010 International Conference! It is being held April 20 - 23, 2010 at the Amway Grand Hotel and Convention Center, Grand Rapids, Michigan. http://www.evergreen2010.org/
