Titles of Items Requested Not Displaying
by Larry Currie 01 Feb '02

01 Feb '02

I'm testing out Koha on one of our servers and most everything is working beautifully, but when I went to the "moremember.pl" display the title area under Items Requested was blank. The dates that the items were requested is displayed and I can cancel requests, but the title is not visible. I can also search for the title through the catalogue and confirm that I have placed it on hold. Any ideas why the titles are not displaying? Larry Currie -- Lawrence W.

where could I find marcimport.pl ?
by paul POULAIN 31 Jan '02

31 Jan '02

Hi folks, I'm from France, and maybe will adopt koha for a 80 000 books christian library. Surely if we do this, I will translate koha to french. My question is (again ;-((() about MARC... I've read almost avery posts from 2001, and, if I'm not crazy, I should have a "MARC-patch" somewhere. I've found in the 1.1.1 version (from sourceforge), a marc directory, with everything I need to create marc-DB : it works. I've also a koha2marc script, which doesn't work, but that's not important for instance. I should have a marcimport.pl somewhere, but ... impossible to find this script. The website 142.28.224.11 from steve is no more reachable for me Can someone give me a hand ? Is there somewhere a marcexport script ? The 1.1.1 is supposed to be the last version before full MARC support. And the next one is supposed to arrive soon. But can I have an idea of what soon means ? Last note : www.trfoundation.org is no more reachable (since 1 week), so openBook is no more downloadable. Has anyone an idea ? -- Paul

RE: [Koha] Adding New Fields to Koha - librarian help please.

Hi All, I'm a new user to the list. (And just out of interest for the community have been embarking on a project to port Koha over to Windows NT/2000/XP. I'll create a separate post on this project if anyone's interested...) Also somewhat related to MARC, I have been investigating MARC-XML - which is a developing standard for converting MARC to the XML format... There are some great resources at this link - http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/marc.html Warmest Regards Andrew Hooper -----Original Message----- From: koha-admin(a)lists.katipo.co.nz [mailto:koha-admin@lists.katipo.co.nz] On Behalf Of Stephen Hedges Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2002 6:33 AM To: Rachel Hamilton-Williams; Cc: Subject: Re: [Koha] Adding New Fields to Koha - librarian help please. If Koha is still interested in eventually providing full MARC support for the database and the front end, you might want to look at how MARC handles this information.

Adding New Fields to Koha - librarian help please.
by Rachel Hamilton-Williams 22 Jan '02

22 Jan '02

Hi all, We are investigating adding some new fields to Koha - for an URL and an Abstract to be stored. At first glance I thought that they should be added to the Biblio table - so that all items of that title would see/have the abstract and URL. However I wondered if it would be more appropriate to add them to the group record (which is the format information). For most items the distinction is pretty academic, however if anyone has strong feelings in any direction I'd love to hear them.

Koha.mysql
by Larry Currie 22 Dec '01

22 Dec '01

Good afternoon. I'm working through the installation instructions for Koha and I've gotten stuck at step #3 where it says to "Use the mysql script to create the tables.". The command is "mysql -uusername -ppassword Koha < koha.mysql". Is koha.mysql a file? Is it supposed to be among the files I extracted from koha-1.1.1.tar.gz? Please help. Thanks.
