Hello, Folks -
I am a Computer Tech for a public library in Michigan. We are looking at Koha as a possible replacement for our aging Dynix system.
I have Koha running in a VMware virtual machine, running on Ubuntu Server 7.04. The install was not at all easy, but what do you want for free, eh?
When I tried to add a user, the first thing Koha told me is that the card number was "Invalid cardnumber". We use a 14-digit codabar barcoded patron library card system. An example is "23330001535735". It is crucial that we be able to keep this intact, otherwise we will not be able to even consider Koha.
Hi Mark First thing Id check is in systempreferences because Koha allows up to 16 chars in the database. Check the members/patron tab in systempreferences make sure no checkdigit routine is turned on. If its set to none, then let me know and ill have a look at the code. You installed version 2.2.8 right? http://www.kohadocs.org/newbieguide.html and http://www.kohadocs.org/usersguide/ Might be useful Chris -- Chris Cormack chris.cormack@liblime.com VP Research and Development www.liblime.com LibLime +64 21 542 131
