Displaying book covers or thumbnails on search result
by Dibyendra Hyoju 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

Hi all, I have installed Koha 3.00.03 on Debian-Lenny. I have imported our Library records using 'bulkmarcimport.pl' and it is working fine. We want to display thumbnails of books on the search result. We've kept the hyperlink of the book cover on the subfield $a of tag 856. I searched for the solution on Google but I couldn't find the relevant information. I found the solution for Koha 2.x but that was just for moving the book cover to the left-hand side <http://www.myacpl.org/koha/?p=196> of the search result. I have seen libraries displaying the book covers on their search resuly. So, I was wondering how to display the thumbnails of the book covers on the search result of OPAC. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you. -- Dibyendra Hyoju Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya Patan Dhoka, Lalitpur Nepal

VMWare/Koha file path questions
by Scott Marriott 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

I've installed the most recent image (v3.01) from Kyle Hall's excellent collection of new images. I've been able to launch everything fine, however when I login at the command prompt in VMWare and do a simple find for either bulkmarcimport.pl or rebuild_zebra.pl the no items are found. (I'm logging in as koha, since the root login only appears to take me to the koha management console screen.) Do I have to change directory paths at the prompt and if so to where (I've basically browsed through every file level I could find here without success.) I suspect its something completely stupid and basic, but I've spent the last few days looking so... Many Thanks, Scott

Spine label printing problem
by Scott Zollars 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

We are currently running Version 3.01.00.032. When we run spine labels, some line up correctly others do not. An example of one that lines up correctly is: 616 P964 An example of a wrong one is 61073071Y73 t The problem is in getting the Cutter number on the line below the call number. This appears, for some weird reason, to only occur with items having authors. Title main entry ones are lining up correctly. That is the only connection to the wrong line ups that we see. We have checked for spacing and have placed the number in the item record as 610.73071/Y73t for example. What are we not seeing?

Where is /installer/install.pl
by Agron Selimaj 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

Hi, I installed koha 3.00.02.012, configured apache, but when I want to browse to intranet/cgi-bin/mainpage.pl or about.pl I am taken to /installer/install.pl. I Get "HTTP 404 - File not found" for it. Also, I thought if I create the 'koha' database, '#make install' was going to build all the tables and indexes for me!!! the Koha database is empty. -- Thank you, //Agron

Is this enabled by default? We tried to test get biblio info for a new book from Library of Congress but it returns nothing found. Any thoughts? Thanks Ed Edward J. Roche Network Administrator Solanco School District 717.786.2151 x2437 "At the End of the Day, Did You Play to Win or Not to Lose?"

loading circulations into Koha
by Erik Lewis 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

Is there a way to load checkouts/issues, renewals, checkins, and holds/ reserve into koha 3.03? Got 2 reasons for wanting to do this. 1) Need to see how feasible it is to migrate this data from our old system, and 2) I'd like a large chunk of circ data to play with retrieving of statistics.

Making changes to the text on the OPAC My Account page
by Scott Zollars 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

I would like to makes some changes to the text that is currently on the My Account page of our OPAC. Currently under the login and password boxes it says: Don't have a password yet? If you don't have a password yet, stop by the circulation desk the next time you're in the library. We'll happily set one up for you. Don't have a library card? If you don't have a library card, stop by your local library to sign up. Labette Community College * 200 S. 14th Street * Parsons, KS 67357 * 1-620-421-6700 or 1-888-Labette (522-3883) I would like to make it say : Don't remember your password? The default password is the year of your birth. Do I have to have a library card to check out materials? You do not need a library card. For LCC Employees and students you only need your LCC ID card. For community patrons you need your driver's license or state issued ID card. Labette Community College * 200 S. 14th Street * Parsons, KS 67357 * 1-620-421-6700 or 1-888-Labette (522-3883) I have looked in the settings and am unable to locate where to do this. Any suggestions? Scotty "You must try to generate happiness. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace" Ernie Banks, former Chicago Cub
