Koha´s architecture

Hi, I find a layout about koha´s architecture. Found a one in http://www.kohadocs.org/Koha_architecture.html but the link refer to 2.x series. Series 3.x too use this layout?

Hi, At 15.17 14/12/2009, Richard Pritsky wrote: >Since these tables are now taking up about 25% of my database size, >are there any critical reasons NOT to truncate them? in fact is quite strange that 25% of your DB size is connect with deletedbiblio, deletedbiblioitems, deleteditems. Why ? Too much test of import ? The critical poin is your circulation reporting policies. Id in deleted- tables could be connect with some past circ events. As I know you can't deleted a items with an active circ event. So, if you have just done all circ reports, all is OK, you can truncate them. To be sure: --extract all id in deleted- tables --seek if any of them is in historical tables. I suggest you to do this opertation in a DB different of your production DB.

Koha 2.2, browser wants to download mainpage.pl or opac-main.pl
by Marty 17 Dec '09

ok, I am back to Koha 2.2.9 because everything went bezerk here with 3.0 Reinstalling 2.2.9 went very smooth compared to 3.0, but when I type the koha address in the browser, the browser opens a window that says 'opening mainpage.pl You have chosen to open mainpage.pl which is a: PL file from: http://debian:8080 What should Iceweasel do with this file? I don't want it to open it or save it to disk. cgi.load is enabled in apache I need help!

Bulkmarc error
by Amy Schuler 17 Dec '09

Hello again, Sorry to bother the list again but I did add 952 $a and $b, with my location code in both fields, and then tried importing this set of records again. Here is the output. Any ideas? Also, I include a sample record below so you may see how my data looks. There are about 7500 MARC records in my file (is this too many?). Thanks!

Scanning Barcodes
by Davita Janto 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hi We are able to scan barcodes printed on books using a barcode scanner however unable to scan barcodes generated by Koha via label/patron creator. Is this a known issue or is there a config setting that I should check? Or is there a workaround for this issue? Thank you.

Re: [Koha] Koha & Xampp or lamp
by Vimal Kumar 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Dear Friends, I noticed queries appreared in this discussion forum about the availability of Koha (3.x) windows version. Many Library professionals like to see latest version of Koha work with Windows. XAMPP and EasyPHP with Windows are very popular among non techie librarians due to its user friendliness. We cannot blame admirers of Windows OS. Windows arrived early in desktop OS market and made popularity due to its user friendliness. As a library professional, may I share one experience regarding the inconsistency of Windows while using for the installation of library management system like Koha. Virus attack and related vulnerabilities make Windows operating system not suitable for production server purpose. I installed Koha windows version more than four times in this year for a school library in our city. The school Librarian is one of my friend he is a non techie. His OS was Windows XP and formatted the system every two month due to virus attack. In this situation he could not enjoy the service of Koha. Last month I installed Koha with Mint Linux (www. <http://www.linuxmint.com/>*linuxmint*.com<http://www.linuxmint.com/>) erasing Windows in his system. After that, he has not complained regarding virus and Koha run there well. Mint Linux provides good user friendly interface. My friend work with Linux and Koha without any difficulty. He is using the Linux based applications for his day to day activities (word processing, net surfing etc). In my experience Linux OS is more suitable for Koha. Majority of the Library professionals are not familiar with Linux and therefore they are not in a position to install Koha with Linux. I hope that Koha Live CD is a good solution to this problem. Mizstik project ( http://mizstik.com/projects/koha-livecd/) is a good initiative to this direction. I hope that more Koha Live CD's would develop on various Linux distributions and then installation of Koha will not be a difficulty. My request to library professionals is that, try to use Koha latest version with Linux instead of trying previous Windows version (2.x). If you are not familiar with Linux and Koha, try to attend Koha workshop organize soon in your area and acquire the technical competency. -- Vimal Kumar V. Asst.

Doc Help - New Acq Permissions
by Nicole Engard 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Hi all, I'm not sure who specifically to send this to so I'm sending it to the entire list. I'm working on documenting the new permissions. I need some help with additional details for the acquisitions permissions: * budget_add_del Add and delete budgets (but can't modify budgets) * budget_manage Manage budgets * budget_modify Modify budget (can't create lines but can modify existing ones) * contracts_manage Manage contracts * group_manage Manage orders & basketgroups * order_manage Manage orders & basket * order_receive Manage orders & basket * period_manage Manage periods * planning_manage Manage budget plannings * vendors_manage Manage vendors Most importantly - I need clarification on what "Manage" entails for everything. Next, both order_manage and order_receive have the same description - what's the diff between the two? Regarding the 2 budget permissions - Add & Delete makes sense, Modify makes sense - what then do you need the Manage permission for? What do you get to do when Managing that you can't do with the other two. What is a basket group? What is a period? What is a budget planning? Thanks a bunch! Nicole

Suppress holdings tab in OPAC?

Hi, all, Is there a way to suppress the Holdings tab in the OPAC? We're using Koha Express. Our collection is not barcoded, so every record displays a "No holdings" statement. I went through the administrative screens to no avail. Thanks in advance! ======================== Neh-ko, gah-gis-dah-yen-duk. [Other council fires were here before ours.] Cynthia M.
