Help with Koha authentication
by domingo＠sunaweb.com 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

Hello to all, I am working on an application based on Koha, but I see the Koha authentication system is very simple, at least for my purposes. Anybody knows how to improve the Koha authentication with more powerful facilities like users signup, confirmation without administrator intervention, options to restrict users signing up, etc. Any idea? Thank you for your help -- Domingo

Biblio question
by Noel Goodman 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

Hey all, I noticed when adding a new biblio or editing a present record under catalogue, some of the tags have a '+' sign next to it. When clicked, a small text box opens. Does anyone know: -What exactly those '+' signs mean? -What am I suppose to enter into the textbox provided if I click on the sign?

Validating date
by Noel Goodman 18 Aug '07

18 Aug '07

Hey, I have a problem with the koha system not validating the date entered, even though the format is set in the system preferences. In some instances, the faulty data is accepted and in others, such as budget, the date may not be shown. Would I need to change some script to give some error notification and which script? Any other thoughts on how to validate would be helpful.

entering items
by Octavee Uhl 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Hello, I have some questions about items in koha and in general. We use koha with the default templates so far. When I “save the bibliographic record and go to items” and have the ‘New Item’ window open. Is there any way to reduce (hide) fields I do not need like I can in Biblio Framework? There are so many fields we don’t use and I want to make it easier for the data entry person. Which fields in ‘Items’ are mandatory? And which fields should we use? When I have 5 times the same book in the main library should the call number be the same or should it have a c1 (for copy 1) etc. at the end? Thanks Octavee -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/entering-items-tf4227076.html#a12025595 Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

addbiblio.pl
by Grant Johnson 16 Aug '07

hi, I have Koh sucessfully running with mysql5 on Etch. It seems to work fine. Except if I try to add a Biblio with a Z39.50 search(works) and click the "Add record" button I get prompted to save the .pl file. It doesn't execute on the server. What's going on. I figure it's an Apache2/perl issue but I can't work it out. Thanks in advance.. I'll try the MARC load in batch next week. Cheers

Self Checkout
by Andrew Yager 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Hi, A couple of weeks ago there was some discussion about a self checkout module that went something along the lines of "there was one, but it doesn't work, there's a workaround but anyone can borrow to anyone... etc..." Has anyone written their own or updated the old module to work with the 2.2.x codebase since then, or prior to then but missed the email? If you have one and are willing to share please let me know. Failing that, I think I'll be engineering one in the coming weeks, so if anyone has any great ideas on how this should work really well then it would be great to know. I'm foreseeing something that is ultimately pretty simple: * Patron scans card and optionally enters password * Patron scans books * Patron says they're done * Machine prints receipt with books and due dates on it * Patron leaves library, books under arm happy that they will be reading for months to come. Of course there are some what-ifs, e.g. non-returned loans, over book count that need to be dealt with in the most lovely way for a user, but that's just semantics :-) Thanks, Andrew _________________________ Andrew Yager, Managing Director (BCompSc MACS) Real World Technology Solutions Pty Ltd ph: 1300 798 718 or (02) 9563 4840 fax: (02) 9563 4848 mob: 0405 152 568 http://www.rwts.com.au/ _________________________ Real World Technology Solutions is an Authorised Apple Reseller, Telstra Dealer, Microsoft Small Business Solutions Specialist, Cisco Registered Partner and Member of Open Source Industry Australia.

Complex Issuing Rules
by Miano Njoka 16 Aug '07

16 Aug '07

Hi everyone, I'm implementing Koha for a large university library that has complex issuing and fining rules, for example, if a patron doesn't return a book within two weeks, he/she is charged KShs. 1.00 per day for the first 10 days and KShs. 2.00 everyday thereafter, the book is marked as lost after 90 days and if the patron doesn't pay up or return the book, he/she is barred from using the library. Has anyone written generic code to handle such a problem? Thanks, Miano Njoka JKUAT, Juja, Kenya.
