Request for your guidance and help

We are facing a problem after transferring data from WINISIS to Koha. The following steps are adopted during data transfer. 1. In the first stage the Data is transferred from WINISIS to MS Excel. 2. In the 2nd step the Data in MS Excel is transferred to MS Access . 3. In the 3rd step the Data in MS Access is transferred to MYSQL But unfortunately, when the data search operation is applied in Koha, the transferred data through above steps cannot be searched. If we insert data through Koha directly, that data can be searched but if we transfer the data through the above mentioned three steps then the data cannot be searched. Your valued comments and guidance will be highly appreciated. Obaidullah

Looking for Icons for OPAC Search Screens
by Marie Wardall 12 Sep '07

12 Sep '07

Greetings- I work in a K-5 elementary school library. I am looking for anyone that has designed icons for the Search screens for Title, Author, Subject, etc. that younger children could identify with when doing their searches. Having this ability would make Koha more appealing to some of the other libraries in the district that are using Follett and it would make it more kid friendly. Thanks, Marie Marie J.

HTML tags shown in titlebar of the browser
by H.S. 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

Hello, In Koha 2.2.9, why are the HTML tags used to format the Libraryname diplayed on the title bar of the koha OPAC webpage? For example, if I set the preference to <h1> My Library </h1>, the formatting of the string on the Koha webpage is fine, but "<h1> My Library </h1>" is displayed on the title bar of the browser window (with the tags and all). How to fix this? thanks, ->HS

koha 2.2.9: not available from inernet on its port
by H. S. 11 Sep '07

11 Sep '07

Hello, I installed Koha 2.2.9 on a machine running Ubuntu (I am going to show it to a small community library to convince them to use this application). All seems to have gone well, however the virtual web server part is giving some problems. The machine in questions is already running a web server on port 80. So I configured Koha to listen on ports 8000 and 8001. Here is the conf file I am currently using: -------------------------------------------------------------------- # Koha 2.2 Apache Virtual Host Config File # # Please include this file in your apache configuration. # The best way to do that depends on your site setup. # Some like an Include adding to /etc/apache/httpd.conf # and some prefer a symlink to this file from some dir. # Please refer to your system manuals. # Ports to listen to for Koha # uncomment these if they aren't already in main httpd.conf Listen 8000 Listen 8001 # NameVirtualHost is used by one of the optional configurations detailed below # Please make sure this line is correct before uncommenting. # See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/ for some guides. #NameVirtualHost 11.22.33.44 # KOHA's OPAC Configuration <VirtualHost audioserver:8000> ServerAdmin sahambi(a)yahoo.com DocumentRoot /usr/local/koha/opac/htdocs ServerName audioserver ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/koha/ /usr/local/koha/opac/cgi-bin/ Redirect permanent index.html http://audioserver:8000/cgi-bin/koha/opac-main.pl ErrorLog /usr/local/koha/log/opac-error_log TransferLog /usr/local/koha/log/opac-access_log SetEnv PERL5LIB "/usr/local/koha/intranet/modules" SetEnv KOHA_CONF "/etc/koha.conf" </VirtualHost> # KOHA's INTRANET Configuration <VirtualHost audioserver:8001> ServerAdmin sahambi(a)yahoo.com DocumentRoot /usr/local/koha/intranet/htdocs ServerName audioserver ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/koha/ "/usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/" Redirect permanent index.html http://audioserver:8001/cgi-bin/koha/mainpage.pl ErrorLog /usr/local/koha/log/koha-error_log TransferLog /usr/local/koha/log/koha-access_log SetEnv PERL5LIB "/usr/local/koha/intranet/modules" SetEnv KOHA_CONF "/etc/koha.conf" </VirtualHost> # If you want to use name based Virtual Hosting: # 1. remove the two Listen lines # 2. replace audioserver:8000 wih your.opac.domain.name # 3. replace ServerName audioserver wih ServerName your.opac.domain.name # 4. replace audioserver:8001 wih your intranet domain name # 5. replace ServerName audioserver wih ServerName your.intranet.domain.name # # If you want to use NameVirtualHost'ing (using two names on one ip address): # 1. Follow steps 1-5 above # 2. Uncomment the NameVirtualHost line and set the correct ip address -------------------------------------------------------------------- The above conf files was included in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf with an include statement: #included for Koha configuration, by HS, 20070910 Include /etc/koha-httpd.conf The name of the machine is "audioserver". Assume the domain name of the machine (it has a dynamic IP address) is mydomain.com. With the above configuration, I can access Koha only on the LAN on port 8000, but not from the internet. If I replace "audioserver" with "mydomain.com", it doesn't work from anywhere, neither from LAN nor from WAN, and I get the website web page on ports 80, 8000 and 8001. I am running apache2 ver. 2.2.3-3.2ubuntu0. What I missing in the above configuration and how I make Koha available from the external internet on port 8000? thanks, ->HS

Re: Koha Digest, Vol 22, Issue 34
by colmcd＠optusnet.com.au 10 Sep '07

Gday Kohaers Yea I have been using and working with Koha in a library in a remote school just outside Wewak in PNG. We have no internet connection so I have to download all the perl modules manually. I have a few thoughts and suggestions. Firstly that Koha should come with a FULL INSTALL option. I have to download each file manually off a dial up connection. So when a perl module changes and no one knows I am left with a broken system making upgrades very difficuld. Since perl modules seem to have no stability at all in relation to KOHA can I suggest that we have a Full install (ie a version of KOHA + all perl librarys that are known to work with it). Secondly My librarian is very dissapointed with the package. She really lamented not sending for payed software due to numerous bugs in Koha (namely the reports DON't work at all and seem to be tailored to a particular librarys needs). Though another bug is that when you delete a item in koha 2.25 you still have the biblioitem remain. Now this bug is very common throughout Koha as there seem to be allot of linkage tables. ie Biblio - Biblio items - Items - etc. Another good example is where does the Dewey get saved I found three different places. What I suggest that to fix problem nr 2 is that we redo the database and normalise it. Ie work out the 1 to 1 and 1 to many relationships so that they interconnect properly. If we have situations like multiple publishers, etc that we ignore these and stick with a simplified database. Why do I say that, simple Koha is just too unreliable at the moment. Please do not hit above your weight. Simplify Koha and make it reliable. Features are great but only if they work and in Koha it's about 95% of the time. my Two cents. Colin McD P.S. feel free to abuse this email in responce I probably will not be able to read the responces.
