i'm tring and driving into koha. I've solved the card number problem by using the one of the number from koha's demo page. But how can I add an item to catalogue or library collection?
You should be able to add items using the "Acquisitions" Module. The membership number uses a complicated algorithm to verify that a given number is valid. I believe this is intended to make it difficult to "forge" a library card. I modified Koha to not require this verification, as I use the Linux uid of my users as their library card number as well. I actually populate the Koha membership database automatically from my Linux accounts database. It might be worthwhile to make that number verification an option and have it disabled by default. How are people supposed to generate valid card numbers? Maybe the new membership routine should generate a new card number when it comes up? Steve.
