Just a short reminder that there should be an IRC meeting at 1900 UTC (that's +0000, ie 2100 CET/MESZ) today (Wed). Amongst other things, it's a good place to bring new bugs to and help us review/prioritise current bugs. I'd really appreciate help from more user-testers and I should be around for about an hour this evening if you need a hand getting started with http://bugs.koha.org/ It takes place on server: irc.katipo.co.nz and channel: #koha Some basic notes on IRC can be found at http://www.irchelp.org/ -- MJR/slef My Opinion Only and possibly not of any group I know. http://mjr.towers.org.uk/ jabber://slef@jabber.at Creative copyleft computing services via http://www.ttllp.co.uk/ Thought: Edwin A Abbott wrote about trouble with Windows in 1884

Payments
by Owen Leonard 05 Aug '03

05 Aug '03

Is there a way to make a partial payment on an existing fine? Or would you have to enter a 'manual credit' in that situation? Does changing a fine's status to 'writeoff' change anything else in the system, or is it just informational? Thanks, Owen ---- Nelsonville Public Library Koha 2.0.0-pre2-R2

koha requiring constant login/authentification
by Matthias & Melanie Kasimir <wahr＠epost.de> 05 Aug '03

05 Aug '03

Hi, I have the problem that koha 1.2.3 requires authentification (login) on each new page of the librarian's module. One mouseclick, one login - impossible to use :-( I tried it with mozilla 1.4 and with IE6. Koha is installed on debian 3.0 i386, perl v5.6.1, Apache/1.3.26, mysql 4.0.13 Where should I look? What can I change to make koha require just one login per session? Greetings from Germany, Mat

Yeah, I hear some Toyota owners are bad drivers, so I'll never drive a Toyota myself. > But, there's > already nothing to stop one > from building a more changeable navigation system > if one knows just enough > perl to be able to change the C4::Template module There are a couple advantages to some of us figuring out how to do it ourselves in PHP. First, those of us who are inclined already know PHP. This saves the rest of you from having to put up with 'low quality' Perl (or is low quality Perl better than good quality PHP?). Second, changes could be made to individual Koha configurations without interfering with Koha-installed files. In situations where the changes made were undesirable for Koha as a whole, working 'on top' of Koha would allow those libraries to avoid worry about changes when it came time to upgrade. I hope if anyone else has ideas that the discussion can continue (although maybe it should move off list). -- Owen ---- Nelsonville Public Library Koha 2.0.0-pre2-R2

staff acess
by rahayu rms 04 Aug '03

04 Aug '03

Hi, 1.I am using koha v1.2.3 on windows.I have try to setup a password and determine their level acess by modifying their flags for librarian staff.When I checked in borrowers table their flags is 644 meaning that they can only acess in cataloging part.But the problem is where to login because to log in?.I still confuse how the librarian staff can log in to acess to their part?This is for testing to make sure staff only acess to their part.I hope somebody can explain more on this. 2.To log in to intranet I still use koha as a password.How to change the password?This password can be use by superlibrarian because they can acess all librarian function.Am I right?If I am wrong, I hope somebody can correct it for me.

> Just curious.... anyone doing any local > modifications to Koha using PHP? We'd like to. My experience is with ColdFusion and PHP. Since Perl is still really foreign to me, if I want to extend Koha's functionality I need to think about using an alternative like PHP. That's fine if I just want to have a separate page for interacting with the database--I can query to my heart's content without fear of messing anything up. But futher than that I get a little nervous. The thing I can't wrap my brain around, though, is how to get php and Perl together in the same page--if it's even possible. But I haven't done any real experimentation.

data import question
by Derek Dresser 01 Aug '03

Hello, I'm still having some trouble getting our data migrated from an old Winnebago system to koha 2.0.0pre2. I am using a MICROLIF (USMARC) file and attempting to use the bulkmarcimport.pl script like so. /usr/local/koha/scripts/misc/bulkmarcimport.pl -file MICROLIF.001 it appears to import fine. Here is a piece of the script output as it is importing the data ==>LDR 01088cam 2200265 i 4500 001 79001533 //r86 008 790514s1979 nyu b 00110 eng 020 _a0835211533 : _c$14.95 043 _ae-uk--- _an-us--- 050 0 _aPR830.F3 _bT9 082 _a016.823/0876 100 10 _aTymn, Marshall B., _d1937- 245 10 _aFantasy literature : _ba core collection and reference guide / _cMarshall B.

I haven't yet been able to map things correctly though. I have a few questions. When installing, I am selecting MARC21 parameters instead of UNIMARC. Is this correct? What's the difference? Is there an already defined option to extract the "item" data from the MARC 852 field (I believe from some responses that I have received that this is a fairly standard location for the "item" data). Any help or additional information would be appreciated. Perhaps there is a way for me to rewrite my MARC data so that that information will be read properly? I'm giving a demo next week to a bunch of school technologists on the basics of installing and configuring Koha as part of an open source seminar we are putting on. I should be able to pull that off using the sample data if necessary, but it would be really nice if I could show them our actual library data. :-) Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions, Derek -- Derek Dresser http://network.gouldacademy.org/ Gould Academy Bethel, ME 04217 (207)824-7700 "Nothing endures but change" --Heraclitus ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/

Noticed a typo in the sample data (book title): INSERT INTO biblio VALUES (18,'Kenny, Kathryn','Trixie belden - they mystery of the missing millionaire',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,20020415130854,NULL); should be? INSERT INTO biblio VALUES (18,'Kenny, Kathryn','Trixie belden - the mystery of the missing millionaire',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,20020415130854,NULL); Thats in the biblio table. The 18th item. Title has "they mystery" which looks like it should be "the mystery".
