Duplicate 300f (Physical Description) field
by T & J Kotula 18 Nov '06

18 Nov '06

Hi, A few days ago I have reported a strange behaviour, where certain MARC fields would get duplicated. I have received one reply from Henri, asking if all the subfields were on the same tab. Well they were not - I split them between two tabs. 1. How can I fix it? Unfortunately the obvious solution of putting all these subfields on one tab makes the problem worse, as then all subfields of that field get duplicated - when I go to edit the biblio. 2. Should this be entered as a bug - if it's not already? Thanking in advance for any hints or suggestions. tomasz.

Hi! Can anyone let me know what is this error and how to solve it? When entering a biblio record, in the 008 field an window is displayed stating that 'You have chosen to open plugin_launcher.pl. and what do you want the firefox to do with it?' When a search is made for the same record in the opac, there too it does not retriev the record but gives this error. --trupti

Hi Ata, What version of Active Perl did you install? Is it the newest one - 5.8.8.819? If you can tell me the exact version, I will test with that version to figure out what is going on.

Re: [Koha] Error 500

Hi Ata, Your install proceedure looks good. The versions you used and the install locations you used are fine. To troubleshoot, could you please open a command prompt window (Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt). First type "path" and hit enter and verify that C:\usr\bin\ is on your path. On my system, I get: C:\>path PATH=C:\MYSQL\BIN;C:\usr\bin\;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem Then type "ppm" and hit enter to start the perl package manager. Next type "query *" and hit enter and you should get a list of all the perl modules that are installed on your system. Verify that the following modules are installed: Convert-ASN1 DateManip DBD-Mysql DBI Digest-MD5 File-Spec HTML-Template Mail-Sendmail MARC-Record PDF_API2 perl-ldap Time-HiRes That is the list of modules that I have for V2.2.4. An install package for V2.2.6 is now available, and it requires some additional modules: MARC-XML Class-Accessor Date-Calc Date-Random GD-Barcode PDF-Reuse-Barcode I think I would troubleshoot v2.2.4 first, but then I suggest you go ahead and install V2.2.6 so you have the newer version. Let me know what you find out, or if you have any questions.

FW: Internet Explorer and Admin Interface
by Phill Hardstaff 16 Nov '06

16 Nov '06

Hi All, posting this again as I seemed not to stir anything much up last time and I just installed 2.2.6 and the same "bugs" in Koha remain :) OK, if I am posting this to the wrong place let me know, is there a developers list or something ? These are very minor changes below that do not affect Firefox at all and make Internet Explorer pretty much 100% compatible with the admin interface using the default template. We have been testing for around 2 months with these changes and only using IE in our library, in fact because of the "bug" with Firefox that does not show the cursor on the search page which IE does, IE actually works better than FF for us. To fix all the pages under /koha/intranet/cgi-bin/value_builder I used sarep, a really cool Perl command line search and replace tool. freebsd# cd /usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/value_builder/ freebsd# /usr/local/bin/sarep -v "unimarc field " "unimarc_field_" * Cheers Phill -----Original Message----- From: Phill Hardstaff Sent: Friday, 11 August 2006 11:33 To: 'koha(a)lists.katipo.co.nz' Subject: Internet Explorer and Admin Interface Hi all, we hit a few snags with Firefox not displaying form fields properly, see this post : >On Wed, Aug 09, 2006 at 03:43:15PM +1100, Eleanor Kleiber said: > Hello everyone, > I am new to the list as I have inherited Koha from my predecessor, so please bear with me. >This will be the first of >> several posts! > We are working with Koha >2.2.5. >Our biggest problem here at the SPC is that the cursor does not show up >on the right side of the screen. This is on the Admin pages, default theme, English, Catalogue - Catalogue Search - then the 4 fields under Other Options (ie Item Barcode) on the right hand side, in Firefox click in any of them and you will not be able to see the cursor, this won't happen if you are running say 800x600 screen resolution and these boxes are bunched over to the left hand side, you then have a cursor, however these work fine in Internet Explorer, so ... I did a little digging, and I am aware that for the admin Interface that Mozilla is the only approved browser, why I am not sure but anyway, that's how it is. The one big problem with IE and Koha is that is does not work on these pages. Catalogue - Add Biblio - Create Empty Biblio Then anywhere where you have the three little dots that normally open a popup (in Firefox this works) nothing happens in IE, you get a script error saying "invalid argument". So, I am really interested in getting Koha Admin to work with IE here so I took a look at the code. What IE is choking on is the following. This does not work function Dopop(link,i) { defaultvalue=document.forms['f'].field_value[i].value; newin=window.open(link+"&result="+defaultvalue,"value builder",'width=550,height=550,toolbar=false,scrollbars=yes'); This does work function Dopop(link,i) { defaultvalue=document.forms['f'].field_value[i].value; newin=window.open(link+"&result="+defaultvalue,"value_builder",'width=55 0,height=550,toolbar=false,scrollbars=yes'); When "value builder" is "value_builder" IE works fine ? I changed this in the default template files addbiblio.tmpl line 599, additem.tmpl line 121, authorities.tmpl line 162 and things started working in Internet Explorer, I start to get pop-ups on addbiblio etc where it calls javascript:Dopop() Then found I also needed to change the files under /koha/intranet/cgi-bin/value_builder, This is for all the Clic() functions. Take marc21_field_008.pl as an example (as this was one I had to change) before function Clic$function_name(i) { defaultvalue=document.forms['f'].field_value[i].value; newin=window.open(\"../plugin_launcher.pl?plugin_name=marc21_field_008.p l&index=\"+i+\"&result=\"+defaultvalue,\"unimarc field 100\",'width=1000,height=600,toolbar=false,scrollbars=yes'); after function Clic$function_name(i) { defaultvalue=document.forms['f'].field_value[i].value; newin=window.open(\"../plugin_launcher.pl?plugin_name=marc21_field_008.p l&index=\"+i+\"&result=\"+defaultvalue,\"unimarc_field_100\",'width=1000 ,height=600,toolbar=false,scrollbars=yes'); ie if I change \"unimarc field 100\" to \"unimarc_field_100\" it then works fine in IE, why is this ? Is this something that can easily be changed to accommodate IE as most everything else except this works ? It seems most of the admin interface now works for us in IE, and we can see the cursor that we cannot see in Firefox :) Cheers Phill -- Phill Hardstaff MCSA 2003_A+_Network+_Inet+_Server+ Senior Support Engineer Secretariat of the Pacific Community B.P.

Changing framework from MARC to UNIMARC
by palmiro togliatti 15 Nov '06

15 Nov '06

Hi all, I am from Italy so our standard for bibliographic records is UNIMARC. I am trying to prepare a demo (first time) and I have installed on windows (xp). Now I'm pretty sure that I didn't have a choice between a MARC or UNIMARC or MARC 21 framework during installation and when I went to configure tag structure I found a MARC framework. Now I need to switch to UNIMARC and being a cataloguer I have quite a big problem with that so any support would be immensely appreciated ... Kind regards! michele __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Poco spazio e tanto spam? Yahoo!
