To me 'Budget Period' suggests a period of time rather than an amount. 'Period Budget' makes a lot of sense to me and more so than 'Root budget'. Bob Birchall Calyx

Premature end of script headers
by sharath raju 21 Dec '09

21 Dec '09

Dear All, I have installed Koha without any error. But, when I open the site http://localhost, I get a quick message stating that Koha has been installed successfully, following which I get the following error message: Premature end of script headers: opac-main.pl I understand that this issue was dealt in the following thread: http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2003/006996.html and that the solution suggested is to give the web server permission to execute the Perl scripts ( http://lists.katipo.co.nz/public/koha/2003/006997.html) 1. My question/doubt : How does one do this on Windows ? All that I could possibly think of was to remove the read-only attribute of C:\usr\koha228\opac\cgi-bin\koha, which contains opac-main.pl file. If so, I tried doing this, but for some reason, the read only attribute does not get removed. (I am the computer administrator) 2. If this issue has been answered elsewhere, please redirect me. I tried searching the Koha archives, and the links listed above were the ones I could find. 3. I also looked at : http://htmlfixit.com/cgi-tutes/tutorial_Common_Web_dev_error_messages_and_w…, but couldn't solve the problem. Please help me solve this problem. -- Thanks & Regards, Sharath B Raju

Searching for books with cell phones
by Pablo A. Bianchi 20 Dec '09

20 Dec '09

I was looking at this article about Koha on Android<http://www.biblibre.com/content/koha-android?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medi…>(using a barcode reader <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcode_reader#Camera-Based_Readers>application). Some cell apps like Point & Find <http://pointandfind.nokia.com/> (for Nokia) or Snap & Tell <http://www.snaptell.com/> (for iPhone) can read any book cover or ISBN barcode and automatically search for it on Amazon and other stores (even I hear that also, if you have GPS, give you some address of stores where near you where you can buy it). I wonder if someone tried to add the URL of a Koha OPAC to the list of places where this apps search for books, or if exist an application to search which libraries (instead of stores) near my location<http://lists.koha.org/pipermail/koha-devel/2009-November/010390.html>have the searched material (or at least search on a given OPAC). Cheers, -- Pablo

budget language question
by Nicole Engard 20 Dec '09

Hi all, We talked about this on #koha but never came to a conclusion (or if it did I missed it). In the new Acq 'Root Budgets' and 'Period Budget'/'Budget Period' mean the same thing. Which wording makes the most sense? I personally think that Budget Period makes more sense than Root Budget, but we need to decide which it is before 3.2 because they are used interchangeably throughout the system now and that will probably be confusing. Thanks Nicole

question about budgets
by Nicole Engard 20 Dec '09

20 Dec '09

On the budget add/edit for it says 'budget amount cannot both be empty' -- what does that mean? What 'both'? I'm thinking there is a word missing - 'budget amount and ? cannot both be empty' Thanks Nicole

New Acq Question
by Nicole Engard 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

In the old acquisitions module if you clicked on the budget headers on the main acq page (spent, committed, etc) you could see what items made up that total. I see no way to see what items were purchased in a specific budget anymore. Is there a way? If not, should there be a way? Nicole

Accession numbers, again
by Elaine Bradtke 19 Dec '09

19 Dec '09

Sorry, I'm a little fixated on this, partly due to the archival and historical nature of our collection. I am desperately looking for a way to keep barcodes and accession numbers separate, but searchable. A while back I asked where to put accession numbers and it was the general consensus to put them in the barcode subfield (p) of 952. I understand why you do this, because it is a) part of the item information and b) can be searched discretely. But this means you have to print out your own barcodes, a process I would rather avoid given our inflexible*** networked printer (which is on a different floor!) My questions, then. If I decide to use some other subfield (perhaps adding one in) how hard would it be for my IT wizard to create a discrete search for it in the staff mode (similar to the barcode search)? I suppose the process would have to be repeated for each update of the software? I experimented with putting it into the public note. This displays well enough, but you can't actually search on this field, and a string of numbers in a keyword search brings up roughly half of the items in my test collection. Clearly, that's not very useful. Is there any chance an accession number subfield in the item record is in the pipline for a later release? Or, alternatively, I could use some advice on barcode printing equipment. Stand alone barcode printers vs a desktop laser printer? Does printing them yourself make sense if you've got 10,000+ items? Unfortunately, our numbering system is a little quirky using similar runs of numbers with different prefixes for different types of material, so getting a straight run of pre-printed labels would be awkward, and matching them up to the material would be a heck of a job. Thanks for any help! -- Elaine ***I usually use much stronger language when referring to this unholy contraption.

make test fails on Bookfund and Boolean
by Marty 18 Dec '09

18 Dec '09

I have some errors in my make test, I did a quick search on the web but apart from manual installing XML::LibXSLT (version 1.70, should it maybe be another version?) which I tried, I could not find many related answers. Please see my make test output below. Doing a make install worked, I have the koha install screen, but I would prefer to have no failed tests.
