Paying fines?
by George Adams 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

(Koha 3.0alpha, (Gentoo) Linux 2.6.24, MySQL 5.0.56) I have my fine rules setup and bin/cronjobs/fines2.pl running every night to generate fines. They are being calculated correctly, so that much is good. However, when an overdue item with fines is checked back in, nothing prompts the librarian that the fine is due. The check-in page (returns.pl) simply shows that the item has been checked in, with no other alerts. So how is a librarian supposed to know at the time of check-in that the patron owes a fine (either for the book being checked in OR for prior fines that haven't yet been paid)? The check-in or check-out time is definitely when you want to inform the librarian about a fine owed by the patron. Thanks.

by H.S. 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

Hi, In Opac preferences, where is the value of LibraryName supposed to appear on the library welcome page? At present, whatever value I set appears on the title bar of the browser window. So this value is the title of webpage (as the title string usually set in HTML files)? thanks, ->HS

Shelf browser?
by George Adams 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Back when I was evaluating open-source ILS products, I saw a nice feature in PINES that I'd love to see in Koha: shelf browsing. Once you find an item (via search or whatever), you can click the "Shelf Browser" link and get a list of all the other items sitting on the shelf around that item (based on... I dunno, call number? Dewey decimal number?) Anyway, it's a nice way to virtually browse the shelf around the item you want, especially for a small church library like ours with only a hundred items or so. Does Koha have a feature like that anywhere in 3.0? If not, is it on a todo list anywhere? Thanks.

printing or exporting complete catalogue in Koha 3.0
by H.S. 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Hello, Looks like my earlier attempt at sending this message was not successful. I installed Koha 3.0 a few days ago. I am trying to find out if I can export a list (to print or to save as a record) of full catalogue with items' titles, authors, date acquired and their cost. Can one do that from within Koha? Or with any other method? I am looking for a file in Openoffice.org format. thanks.

Question about Amazon content
by Dwayne Collins 16 Mar '08

16 Mar '08

Hello Folks, I'm running Koha for a small collective of libraries and I'm considering turning on the Amazon content. Most of our users are likely to want to use Amazon.ca rather than Amazon.com and I'm wondering if anyone knows if we can use an Amazon.ca associate ID or does Koha only connect with amazon.com (therefore needing to use the amazon.com associate programme)? Thanks! Dwayne

Hi Thandu, Is your operating system windows? Open a command prompt and type: cd \mysql\bin Type: mysqladmin -u koha -p password YourNewPasswordHere You will be prompted for the current password which is "koha" The above action will reset the mysql password. Open the C:\etc\koha.conf and set the new password in the pass=koha line. Restart apache to implement the change Frank ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
