V1.9 - Librarian Log-In Problem
by Ingrid Lacis 07 Mar '03

07 Mar '03

Hi - Koha 1.9 - we are using Apache's authentication - when we add a librarian (superlibrarian) that person can't log in. We've tried the Koha generated passwords as well as our own and neither works. Thank you, Ingrid Lacis The Cherry Hill Company ilacis(a)chillco.com

Two or three little things.
by Emiliano Marmonti 07 Mar '03

Dear people: I'm trying to test Koha 1.9 with the language set to spanish. I could configure in System Preferences the opaclanguages to 'es' but all the images rest in english (but the tooltips in spanish). When I try to set opacthemes and template to es all the enviroment is converted to english. I´ve seen that in somewhere exists the translated images, anybody could tell me how could I use it? More, at te OPAC all the system is presented in english and I don´t see any variable to convert it... Just one more thing, I could not configure TZ variable from Date::Manip in RedHat 7.3 (perl 5.6.1), I´m "uncommenting" DateManip.cnf TZ variable and PersonalCnf but no changes, I could not use the Add Member function (and suppose Circulation will not work too). Thanks a lot Emiliano. ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/

Re: [Koha] School Library Management (loans, returns ,accounthandles...)

Hi Nigel. Thanks so much for your intro to Koha. I will start to play around with Koha and instalation this night. A few questions comes to my mind. My wife has read your mail also, and she says that she saw somtime a system which was capable of reading the back cover ISBN or EAN Code trough a Barcode reader and feeding that way the Library Database. Is there a way to Download or access ISBN Database while entering the books in the System with Koha with a Barcode Reader? In case that it is not possible and we have to do it the old and hard way typing one by one each book into the system, (2000 books more or less) You said that multiple Web Browsers can access the "Acquisition" menu and so enter new books using more people for the purpose. what happened if accidentally someone entered an information twice? (sure there could be 2 copies of the same book or more in the library) Could she use the program you mentioned "Glabels" for creating a Library Identity card for every kid?

Dewey and Item Type
by Adam Thick 04 Mar '03

04 Mar '03

Hi all, I was wondering whether anyone could tell me what Dewey maps to in MARC? Scoured SimpleMarc.pm and came up with 082. Also the item type drop down field on the Koha test drive site, what's the MARC mapping for that??? or do you choose it when you go on to submit the record? If this is true where do you set up item types? just enter them into the db? or is there a gui? or are they pre determined like marc codes for em??? Thanks in advance, Adam Thick.

z39.50 targets in France
by Nigel Titley 03 Mar '03

03 Mar '03

Sorry, sent this the first time from the wrong address. Hope you don't get it twice. Does anyone have any good z39.50 targets in France. At least half our library are books published in France and entering then in manually is getting tedious. I've found that the National Library of Scotland runs an excellent target for books published in the UK, and the Library of Congress target is good for many technical books, but I can't get a response out of any of the targets I've tried in France. Any help would be appreciated. Best regards Nigel

Win 9.x/ME/NT4.0/2000/XP Build - Update
by Jeff Williams 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

Hi all An update on the progress of a complete install package for windows. I have now got Apache and MySQL into one package and installing onto windows system. Installation places apps in the following directories c:\Program Files\Apache\ c:\Progarm Files\MySQL\ c:\Program Files\Koha\ Appache web pages are server from c:\www What I now would like for anyone that has configured Appache for windows is a cample of the conf file for appache settings. I would like to see how you have set this up to handle Opac etc. If you are willing to share your config file with me please email it so I can have a look. I am now working on setting MySQL up so the Koha Data can be held in the Koha directory. This would give just one directory to back up all data. I hope to release the Apache/MySQL version some time next week. I look forward to any comment you may have. Regards Jeff Williams

Anobody could help me a little? [Koha - Win32]
by Emiliano Marmonti 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

Dear People I'm testing Koha 1.2rc3-Win32 that have downloaded from the Win-Koha site. After a lot of problems for registering the extra-modules for Active State-Perl I have Koha working. I have tested that could add new records, could search for them, but inside some options doesn't work. This screens are: Catalog-search Member-search Accounts Parameters The problem is that I could not show the entire functionality of Koha. including that I could not define new branches, nor define settings, etc. Looking at intranet_error I could see: [Thu Feb 27 11:52:28 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Database handle destroyed without explicit disconnect at C:/usr/www/intranet/cgi- bin/koha/circ/circulation.pl line 37, <KC> line 18., referer: http://localhost/cgi-bin/koha/mainpage.pl [Thu Feb 27 11:52:28 2003] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] today: Thu Feb 27 11:52:28 2003 , referer: http://localhost/cgi-bin/koha/mainpage.pl I don´t understand what is missing or working bad. I would appreciate any help very much. Thanks a lot.
