Unable to add patrons
by Paul McBride 08 Jan '08

08 Jan '08

Kia ora, I have just started using koha and am having trouble adding patrons. Although I am am able to add biblio entries, when I try to add members, the details are not recorded. Upon saving, the membership record is completely blank. I couldn't find an answer to this problem in the old posts or in forums elsewhere. If anyone can help I would be most grateful... Cheers, Paul McBride Youthline Auckland

Help Git unable to connect a socket (Connection refused)
by Pseudo Admin 07 Jan '08

07 Jan '08

Hello! While trying to create a kohaclone using git I encountered this error message: ... unable to connect a socket (Connection refused) after reading the documentation on the Git homepage it looks like my connection to Git is blocked by our firewall, also it was mentioned that it may be possible to clone a git project using the http protocol, which is considerably slower but works even behind firewalls I tried it changing the protocol on the URL and this is what I get : aslan@tek1:~$ git clone http://git.koha.org/home/pub/scm/koha.git kohaclone Initialized empty Git repository in /home/aslan/kohaclone/.git/ Cannot get remote repository information. Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there? Will this be possible on the koha git repository in the future? I may not be able to convince our ISP to open our firewall for Git :) Thanks!

Dear Mohamed Fekry Negm, First you create a folder with the name of patronimages in the following location. C:\Usr\Koha228\Intranet\htdocs\ Now you can add patron pictures in to the patronimages folder. IMP NOTE:- 1) Change Setup In Koha Intranet parameters System preferences admin circulation module patronimages modify ( 0 Zero )as jpg 2) Image file name should be the Member Card number.jpg If any problem give mail to me. Goodluck Venkat Forgot the famous last words? Access your message archive online at http://in.messenger.yahoo.com/webmessengerpromo.php

Salvete! >> [...] Honesty is what we've got over the commercial vendors. > >I'm a commercial vendor (but I have enough people buying in January to >keep me busy), so I both thank you for the praise and wonder if that >was a veiled insult against someone from koha.org/support/pay.html ... ;-) > To me, Koha folks are just not in the same ballpark as say...Dynix. I'm glad that we're seducing folks back from skeevy ILS peddlers. Really, at the end of the day, a whole bunch of ILS vendors are willing to say anything they think we want to hear. They are all too willing to make ridiculous promises that they have no intention of ever delivering on. "Try Pirelli's Miracle elixir..." As for veiled insults, I don't do well with that sort of thing. I've got into more trouble than someone meek would for speaking my mind about a hard right over an easy wrong, particularly when the things I say aren't flattering. Pulling one's punches doesn't make for progress, and I'd rather have progress. That said, I think one can generally go further with kindness than nastiness, particularly when working as a team. Koha proves that hypothesis a million times over. :) But in order that the record is accurate, I am the black sheep of this field, and it's a reputation I've earned. Cheers, Brooke

Salvete! >Frames might not be needed. It should be fixable with clever >templating and CSS, if I remember the "freeze panes function" >correctly (it's a long time since I used Excel much). See >http://www.bleb.org/tv/align.html? >c=bbc1+bbc2+bbc3+bbc4+bbc_parliament+bbc1_scotland+bbc1_wales+bbc1_n_ir eland&day=0 >for an example of the effect I think we need. That looks good to me. Does that look good to other people? That also seems, dare I say it, like an easy fix. Thanks for helping with the project, MJ. You've done a lot over the years. Thanks for being honest that you don't have time right now, but I bet someone somewhere can do this :) Honesty is what we've got over the commercial vendors. Cheers, Brooke

Salvete! Are any developers out there kindly enough to break this into a frame if the table spills over a certain data size? This seems more of a bug than a feature to this Librarian, and I know how generally snappy ya'll are with the little feature requests I make. If someone tells me to, I'll post it over on Bugzilla.

Issuing Rules entry tips needed (parameters)
by Linda Roholt 03 Jan '08

I'm currently in the Parameters> Issuing Rules So far with the set-up I have over 15 borrower categories in the column (top) area and 20+ item types (on the left) The issue is that when I scroll down to fill in the necessary fields I can no longer see the top Borrower category information. I tried printing the screen but this doesn't work since the information goes beyond the page setup since I have to scroll to the right to see all the information. Anyone have some tips on how to best complete this section? Something like a freeze panes function that is in Microsoft Excel would be wonderful. Thanks in advance for you time, Linda Roholt Utah State Library Division 250 N 1950 West Ste A. Salt Lake City, Utah 84116 Phone (801)715-6754 1-800-662-9150 (in Utah) lroholt(a)utah.gov
