Which OS?
by ils shopping 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

I see directions for running Koha on Debian, Ubuntu, MacOSX, and Windows. Which is best? I'm really a mac head and love the form factor of the Mac Mini. Would a 2ghz dual core mini with 2GB of ram be sufficient to handle 50k of patrons, 120k of materials, and 500K of circ for 1 facility? Thats our current load.

Windows Koha Issues.... more help needed...
by Phil Lathroum 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

How do I remove the branch from the default Windows install of KOHA... It won't let me do it... It says it is being used... but I can create and remove other Branches... also Any fix for the issues with adding a new Borrower... Addresses show on some screens and not others... sometimes names too... I found the fix to allow you to add people in... Also why only two choices... of Child or Institution? Can I create other borrower categories? Also I am also missing Menu Items on the main screen unless I change my window size or drag the mouse of them and they appear... If I run windows at 800x600 they are fine... anything larger and they are no there... If I run in a window that is not maximized they appear also... also on the OPAC how can I remove the search item for new items... The Children won't need that... I want the interface to be as basic as possible for them... THANKS Philip Lathroum Technology Coordinator Cardinal Shehan School 410-433-2775 x107

Barcode and Holdingbranch hidden field
by Octavee Uhl 18 Oct '07

18 Oct '07

Hello, When I open the items table direct in MYSQL and change the barcode and Holdingbranch there it works fine with the OPAC (user view), but somehow there must be a hidden field which the data is stored. The intranet view (Administrator) has still the 'old' barcode and Holdingbranch in it. Is there any way to do this canges in mysql without going through the koha program?And where would I find these hidden fields? Thanks Greetings Octavee -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Barcode-and-Holdingbranch-hidden-field-tf4643967.html… Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

evaluating Koha
by ils shopping 17 Oct '07

17 Oct '07

Folks, I'm in a library that may soon break away from a consortium. Actually it's a certainty but I've been asked to conduct my research quietly. I apologize in advance for questions your probably tired of seeing. 1) We currently are on a shared Sirsi Unicorn system with several other libraries. I've been assured that we can export all of the data from the system administrator. He is a good guy who I believe will extract everything possible. He tells me that everything including old transactions can be exported. I see there is a Winnebago to Koha plugin to aid with that migration. Is there a simillar plugin or instructions on how to perform a migration using Sirsi Unicorn. If not I'm willing to contribute towards that form of project. 2) Book jackets in the catalog. My boss truly covets book jackets in the library catalog is this possible with run of the mill Koha or does it require the LibLime version. Is this a subscription service. 3) SIP and NCIP. Does it? 4) Can you import records using Connexion from OCLC or is it strictly import by Z39.50? 5) Reports how detailed? Can you use something like Crystal Reports as an interface? 6) SMS, IM, Email, and Mail notices. Do these capabilitites exist? Probably enough for now in the question department.

Customizing the look of Koha (questions)
by Phil Lathroum 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

OK... Now I have it running... I have two questions... How do I remove the Branch in the default setup? There was a branch already installed and can't remove it... it says it is being used... How do I create a whole new database/set of files for Koha to use so I can start from scratch... Also... how do I modify the look of KOHA... Specifically the colors of the OPAC page and putting our school logo on the page... I also want to simplify the OPAC slightly since we are an elementary school...(maybe remove a few choices here and there) THANKS Philip Lathroum Technology Coordinator Cardinal Shehan School 410-433-2775 x107
