Biblio reecord import
by Rick Welykochy 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

Hi all, I have a bunch of bibliographic records from a proprietary system, in CSV format. I need to import those into Koha. I think it best to write a script or modify an existing one to do the job in the shell. Can anyone point me to where to begin researching this? Is there an import example script? I would also like to know which tables in Koha/2.2.9 are required to be populated by the new bibliographic data. My guess are the following: biblio biblioitems and possibly bibliosubject bibliosubtitle cheers rickw -- _________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services Those who make the most connections hog the most bandwidth. -- Rick Welykochy

Thanks! I made a copy of the templates under a new name, fired up my browser and voila. Koha lists it as an template option in the admin area for both the OPAC and Intranet. cheers rickw -- _________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services Those who make the most connections hog the most bandwidth. -- Rick Welykochy

Hmmm...so the issue you're having is that the installer doesn't realize that MySQL is, in fact, installed?

Adding a new template to the OPAC and Intranet
by Rick Welykochy 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

Hello group, I am contemplating adding a new look and feel to an existing Koha install. I am currently using the NPL template. I would like to create a new template and have that template appear as an option in the Koha Administration area of the web site. Any pointers on how to proceed? I am curious as to where I would store the new files, perhaps in intranet/htdocs/intranet-tmpl/MYTEMPLATE/en and opac/htdocs/opac-tmpl/MYTEMPLATE/en An unanswered question is how do the perl scripts and the HTML::Template facility pass around the information on which template is currently is use, i.e. 'MYTEMPLATE' must make it into the HTML somehow.

koha3 install
by mourik jan c heupink 13 Nov '07

Hi all, Today I have installed a koha3 snapshot from today on sles10. It works, and I like it's looks. Congratulations. :-) However, I am running the NoZebra version, because I had the following problem, getting zebra to work: Starting Zebra like "zebrasrv -c /usr/share/koha/etc/koha-conf.xml" gives the following output: > 21:26:20-06/11 [log] zebra_start 2.0.18 /usr/share/koha/etc/koha-conf.xml > 21:26:20-06/11 [fatal] /usr/share/koha/etc/koha-conf.xml:1 missing colon after '<yazgfs>' > 21:26:20-06/11 [fatal] Failed to read config `/usr/share/koha/etc/koha-conf.xml' I've taken the koha-conf.xml from the tarball from git, only made changes to the usernames/passwords. What could be wrong here? Do I perhaps need a specific version of zebra..? Zebra: 2.0.18 Yaz: 3.0.14 All perl modules taken directly from MCPAN Regards, mourik jan

some problems
by library cdac 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Dear Joshua, Koha users, I have the following problems. Can you please help me out? 1. I had uploaded some Marc records from library of Congress into the Koha reservoir and then tried using the addbiblio option to add into the biblioframework that we have created for our library. But while adding the record, it adds to the default framework. Can anyone let me know how to add it to the biblioframework other than the default one? 2. In our library we assign a unique number to each book which is called accession number. Which field in Koha corresponds to the accession number. 3. What is the difference between biblioitem number and biblionumber? Thanks and regards, --trupti

Cataloguer's blues
by a.maclennan＠rgu.ac.uk 13 Nov '07

13 Nov '07

Hi, my name is Alan, and I'm a cataloguer. Sorry - wrong group. :-) I want to insatll Koha on a Redhat 8 server, to give the students a chance to catalogue on a real system. Downloaded the latest stable version, took about a day to sort out the dependencies, and the installer chokes at the MySQL bit. Now, this is my fault, because, having run an old MySQL/Apach/PHP setup for years, I wanted to try blogs and wikis, and so went for a XAMPP setup. Foolishly, I copied the new my.cnf over the old one, thinking that would work, and it doesn't, and I didn't save the old one. So, how can I, or can I, tell the install script that MySQL now lives at /opt/lampp/bin/mysql and not at the new my.cnf script, which dies becaus it seems not to be compatible with the old installation. Maybe someone could do me a favour and post a my.cnf for a bog-standard installation of MySQL in /usr/bin, or give me some advice, please? (Yeah, I know - leave the computers alone, and stick to the 5" x 3" cards ...) Now, when I try mysql -p with the new my.cnf, it tells me to consider upgrading the client. You can't seem to download earlier versions any more, and the 5 version has another heap of dependecies. Sometimes, it hardly seems worth chewing through the restraints in the morning ...
