I just sent a response to this, I hope you all got it, if not (I'm on a deadline for something), will elaborate later. Short item: Yes, there are french versions of the docs. I have the source, as does the doc controller (www.haz.cmsd.bc.ca/cgi-bin/upload, I think, for those of you with accounts on it). I have more info, and a beg/plead/hoping for assist request, which you may or mayn't have seen (silly webmail client may've eaten it).....

Multiple Marc Records
by Gregg Ferrie 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

It appears from our brief look at Koha having just installed it that you can only input one Marc record at a time. Is there a way to import multiple records? Thanks all Gregg Ferrie Manager of Information Technology Administrator - Henry Grube Education Centre School District #73 Kamloops/Thompson (250) 376-2266

barcode NOT mandatory [done]
by paul POULAIN 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

I've created the patch that makes barcode NOT mandatory in Koha. It's in CVS, and will be in next public release. PS : for those intereseted : download CVS version somewhere. run updatedatabase script (don't forget to export PERL5LIB=/your/path/to/koha) That's all. No code involved in Koha. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

RE: [Koha] z3950 problem found to be bug #511
by Tim Stevens 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Paul, I installed the new addbiblio.tmpl and still had the problem. I did some working on the PopZ3950 function and found the real problem to be a space in the title parameter for the window.open function. Previously: newin=window.open('...', 'Z3950 Search', '....'); Now: reviously: newin=window.open('...', 'Z3950Search', '....'); And the search window pops up as it should. I don't know if this is a bug in addbiblio.tmpl or Internet Explorer, but either way the above change corrects the problem. I haven't replied yet because my search does not find anything when looking for an ISBN from the Library of Congress. I do a search from the LOC website directly and find it. So I have another issue I'm working on.

SF has perf problems with cvsweb and show backup, not real cvs since july. cvsweb maybe 1-2 days different from "true cvs". I can see koha-tmpl/intranet-tmpl/default/en/acqui.simple/addbiblio.tmpl is in v1.22 The only difference is in the PopupZ3950() sub (end of template), that has NO MORE parameters. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

[BUG] barcode mandatory or not ?
by paul POULAIN 28 Sep '03

28 Sep '03

Hi, The bug 599 has been understood... It's due to inconsistencies in Koha features : in MARC you can put barcode "mandatory" or "not mandatory". BUT in non-MARC part of Koha, barcode IS MANDATORY. If you set barcode = non mandatory in MARC parameters, your DB is broken when you let barcode empty. The question is : what is the good behaviour ? * barcode IS mandatory => manage this in checker, the tools that checks that your DB is correctly parametered. * barcode IS NOT mandatory => change non-MARC part of Koha to accept empty barcodes. From a technical point of vue, both are simple. My question is for librarians (& for our big "circulator", i mean chris, if there is something i'm missing technically) NOTE : we agree that a books without barcode can't be issued/returned, aren't we ? -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
