Due dates
by Shea Craig 15 Feb '03

15 Feb '03

I realize this is entirely not what Koha was designed for, but I haven't found anything else remotely close to solving my problems. I manage an equipment cage at the Art Institute of Philadelphia and use a really terrible software package called Athena for all of my circulation purposes. Anyhow, I want to switch to using Koha, but I have some questions and or ideas. One thing that would be really useful would be to have the due date/month/year have a preferences setting that could have it automatically default to the current date, x number of days in advance, etc, depending on what format the item was, etc. (Athena does have this, but it doesn't work the way we need it to...) It's a real problem to have to specify this stuff every time something is checked out. ALso, and this is very non-library related, we have a rather ridiculous checkout periods system in effect. All equipment checked out before 5 on any weekday must be back by 5, after 5 can be checked out overnight or be due back by 9:45, etc. So an hour:min setting for the due dates would be great too. I realize I should get off my butt and add this stuff myself, but I'm not sure where to start. -- "The sacred pint alone can unbind the tongue of Dedalus" --James Joyce

Read you next week :-)

This mail is just to tell you that i'll be away next week. So don't expect me to answer to any question about 1.9.0 or future of koha or anything else. A "bad new": i think 1.9.1 will be delayed 2 more weeks (mid-march), because of some problems with <010 MARC fields. They are now solved, but templating and reordering of acquisition/cataloguing is a little bit late. -- Paul POULAIN Consultant indépendant en logiciels libres responsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)

Installation Mistake
by Liza Halbrook 14 Feb '03

14 Feb '03

Hi, I was installing Koha 1.9.0 and I made a mistake on step 3 of the Quick Installation Guide. I forgot to include the user and password. The command should be (mysql -uusername -ppassword Koha < koha.mysql) I forgot to include the -uusername and -ppassword. It accept the command but how can I correct my mistake? Thanks. Liza

RE: Barcode readers
by Bigwood, David 11 Feb '03

Marie, BarCode-1 is a good place to go to find out about bar codes. Standards, news, a bulletin board, shareware, and links are available. There are no products for sale, only unbiased information. http://www.adams1.com/pub/russadam/barcode1.html Libraries have a de facto standard for bar codes, at least here in the states. The 1st number is a 2 for patrons or a 3 for books. The next 4 numbers are for the institution. At one point in time some company was keeping track of them, but I think that stopped years ago. The next 8 numbers are in sequence. The last digit is a check digit. Most use codabar. Get samples for different companies since some are easier for the scanner to read than others.
