Fines for Short Loan Items
by Irene Sachs 13 Apr '08

13 Apr '08

We have installed Koha 2.2.9 on Windows XP. We have a problem with completing the system parameters for fines for our short loan reserve collection where items can only be borrowed for 2 hours. We tried inserting 0.2 in the number of days component but this did not work. Is there any way of using the system for loans that are in hours rather than days? Many thanks Felix Majawa _________________________________________________________________ You dream job is up for grabs. Grab it. http://mycareer.com.au/?s_cid=596065

Internationalisation
by Ratanak Chan 12 Apr '08

12 Apr '08

Dear Don Robertson, For translation to Khmer in Koha 2.2.9, we can add "khmer" language in directory: koha_directory\opac\htdocs\opac-tmpl\css. You'll see more languages in this directory, and than edit all files (*.tmpl). But when i view koha opac in browser (IE 6), it display "???????" when we choose "khmer" language. I don't know how to display khmer language in browser. If you have any idea, Please reply. Thanks!

ILS Basic Discovery Interfaces
by MJ Ray 12 Apr '08

12 Apr '08

Hi all! I just spotted a standard for OPAC web interfaces which LibLime seem to have signed up for last month. It's been under development since last summer, but it doesn't seem to have been mentioned on the list yet as far as I found. Could one of the LibLimers tell us if this applies to Koha and if so, why's it good for Koha and were any other Koha vendors invited to collaborate, get involved or even informed? "At the meeting, participants agreed to support a set of essential functions through open protocols and technologies by deploying specific recommended standards. [...] Undersigned by: [...] LibLime" Source: http://blogs.lib.berkeley.edu/shimenawa.php/2008/04/04/ils_basic_discovery Thanks, -- MJ Ray (slef) Webmaster for hire, statistician and online shop builder for a small worker cooperative http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ (Notice http://mjr.towers.org.uk/email.html) tel:+44-844-4437-237

innovative to koha?
by Cody Hennesy 11 Apr '08

11 Apr '08

Hello, Thanks to everyone who responded to my recent query about special collections in Koha. I was also wondering if there any libraries out there who have migrated from Innovative to Koha (or are considering doing so now). According to a Lib Tech Guides search (http:// www.librarytechnology.org/lwc-search-advanced.pl) there aren't any, and there's certainly not any Koha documentation that I could find on the subject, but I thought I should double-check with the list. Thanks, Cody ____________________________ Cody Hennesy Reference and Instruction Librarian California College of the Arts 510.594.3659 | chennesy(a)cca.edu

koha upgrade 1.2.2 to 2.2.9...
by Steve Bradwell 11 Apr '08

11 Apr '08

Greetings, First post...we've been running koha for a number of years, we are at version 1.2.2. Different developers have done some hacking to it over the years, but now I'd like to try to get us to 2.2.9. My guess is the easiest way is to upgrade at this point is a fresh install, then look to migrate data? I read a post from a while back about moving from 1.2.x to 2.0 using an upgrade script, would this work still for us as we are so far behind? We've been digging for a way to export all the data so it can be imported into a new system and after some effort aren't exactly sure how to proceed. Our database contains about 1500 - 2000 books, and only 60% of them have data in the `marc` field... We'd really appreciate any guidance you can provide.

Re: [Koha] NZ English Translation

So set up code for this english version (suggest en-US as ODLIS is written in US english?) and then we can have at it. So plan from there - do an en-GB version? And then see where we are at? If so, sounds good to me. Cheers, Russel

Vendor Question

I find such talk as this "Linked libs: -lexslt -lxslt -lxml2 -lpthread -lz -lm -lsocket -lnsl -lsocket -lnsl -R/usr/sfw/lib -L/usr/sfw/lib -lssl -lcrypto -lsocket -lnsl -ldl" rather scary, because I don't understand it. However, I also find an aggressive tone on an internet list scary, because I do understand it. A list is a delicate ecology. Anyone who has been on more than a few lists will know how easily people can be driven away and a list wrecked by the insensitivity of a few. There are confronting ways to make criticisms, including legitimate ones, and the web seems to amplify the harsh tones. There are also more delicate ways to make the same points. It is to the benefit of all to choose the second. I support Joshua in this. The more knowledgeable people on the Koha list are extraordinarily helpful to those of us who are less expert, and I think all of us have reason to appreciate their expertise and generosity. If someone needs "education" in netiquette, there are graceful ways to do it.
