Hello, My name is Frédéric Demians. I'm based in Paris, France. I've been working with specialized libraries for years. In the past, I developed software for libraries, named Tamil. I used to sell and maintained it. After that, I distributed databases and ILSs (Integrated Library Software) in France. My activity consisted in deploying those solutions in libraries and information centers, and also developing specifically-related solutions: web portals for library catalogs, archive collections, etc., and e-commerce portals. Today I am embracing the Open Source paradigm and I've chosen Koha as ILS. My double experience, as a software developer and distributor, allows me to compare both approaches, which has led me to value the advantages of Open Source. Dialog with users is straightforward and drive fast software improvements. For my customers and myself I want this ease of operations. I’m also choosing Koha because I’m convinced that evolution of libraries in the near future will be much more practically handled by Open Source and Community-supported technologies. It seems very true for the specialized libraries I am pleased to work with. And last, although greetings season has gone by a few weeks, I'd like to greet and express my best wishes to Koha users' community! I devoutly expect it to thrive and I intend to dedicate myself to its blooming. -- Frédéric DEMIANS

help me for koha database structure
by wahyu prasetyo 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

Hai all I am currently using koha 2.2.7 on win XP SP2, running smooth and well, but there are some question about database for koha. 1. cataloging books. For cataloging. For example: I have 100 books titled "MatLab Programming", of course with the same ISBN and barcode. And I want to add into biblio, but when i look the sample227 one book identified with one barcode. How can I put my 100 books into item counts without having 100 different barcodes? 2. members. For members. How can I make the differences between members and borrowers? Is that any tools to view report for just member count or for just active borrowers? 3. parameters - Link Koha - MARC DB How can I set this parameters without error? Can anybody give the example? thanks a lot --------------------------------- Sekarang dengan penyimpanan 1GB http://id.mail.yahoo.com/

Can't search by branch
by cat tom 15 Feb '07

15 Feb '07

I imported a batch of Marc records from Horizon 7.3.4. By default, Horizon puts library branch code in subfield m of tag 949 while put item type in 949 t. I deleted the whole 952 in Koha and re-configured 949 in order to map Item.homebranch to 949's m and item.itemtype to 949 t. Of course, I have created a same branch code and itype in koha. Now, I can search by itype and find titles imported from horizon, whereras search by branch flatly blew. Even, I can not search by any branch name except any branch. Thank you. --------------------------------- All new Yahoo! Mail - --------------------------------- Get a sneak peak at messages with a handy reading pane.

Koha is using incorrect @INC details
by Noth 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

Hi All, I've got a small problem with a couple of modules (everything except z3950 searching and barcodes is working great. When they are run I get errors in my logs telling me they can't find the modules they need (ZOOM and PDF::API2) and looking through the log message I can see those modules are not included in the @INC list. I have updated perl to 5.8.8 after installing Koha, to fix some errors, and have since tried to reinstall ZOOM and PDF::API2. The problem seems to be Koha holding onto an old version of the @INC list (from perl 5.8.6) meaning that it doesnt reference the 5.8.8 directory propperly. I'm sure that a reinstall of perl then Koha would fix these issues but I'd rather not do that if I can avoid it (I just got it setup the way I like it) does anyone have an alternate way to refresh Koha's @INC list to the current version? Or to push additional values into it? Many Thanks, Noth -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Koha-is-using-incorrect-%40INC-details-tf3198487.html… Sent from the Koha - Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Has anybody successfully installed Koha on Solaris? I've read in some older threads that it has been done, just looking to confirm that users have been able to do so. Thanks, Joe

Installing Z3950 Zoom Issues on Centos 4.4

I am still trying to get KOHA 2.2.7 to work properly on Centos 4.4 and receive when trying to us -MCPAN to install ZOOM.

Trouble with MySQL, DBI/DBD::mysql
by Chris Hammond-Thrasher 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

Folks, I am trying to setup a replica of an environment currently running at the Cook Islands National Library in order to diagnose two problems. It is a Koha 2.2.6 install with MySQL 5.0 (I have made all of the documented sql changes plus a couple of undocumented ones to support mysql 5 thanks to "Katipo Chris") on Debian Sarge. All modules and system components are installed, the /usr/local/koha directory tree has been restored from the Cook Islands' backup as has the MySQL database. Everything looks good, except that a browser call to opac_main.pl yields the following error in the apache log: DBI connect('CKI:localhost','kohaadmin',...) failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) at /usr/local/koha/intranet/modules/C4/Context.pm line 411 Can't call method "prepare" on an undefined value at opac-main.pl line 17. Running a quick "mysqladmin version" revealed that mysql socket location is actually /tmp/mysql.sock . However, /etc/mysql/my.cnf has both the client and server socket set to /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock . So I changed all mentions of /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock in my.cnf to /tmp/mysql.sock (and even set and exported the MYSQL_UNIX_PORT env variable for good measure) and restarted mysqld_safe, then requested opac-main.pl again and received the same error above. In summary, I cannot make mysqld_safe listen at anything other than /tmp/mysql.sock and I cannot make perl DBI/DBD::mysql attempt to connect anywhere other than /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock . Any ideas? -cht Chris Hammond-Thrasher MLIS Library Systems Manager University of the South Pacific Suva, Fiji +679 3232233 hammondthrasher_c(a)usp.ac.fj

HTML::Template::Extension::DOC
by Jason Ronallo 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

Has anyone used HTML::Template::Extension::DOC with Koha templates? The are some changes that I'm making to the templates to hide certain page elements (like login and authorities search) for the time being. Later I could simply remove the <TMPL_DOC></TMPL_DOC> tags when I want to show my users the functionality. Should this work alright? --Jason
