It is the specify due date choose that we'd like to change. I couldn't figure out how though.
In your installation is the date due chooser a popup calendar widget, or is it a set of three drop-down menus with month, day, year?
Is it difficult to upgrade? What is the best way to back up Koha to ensure that 3.0 will take the Marc files? We like the features of 3.0 and are thinking of moving up.
There are some instructions for upgrading on the wiki, but they don't seem to be aimed at less-than-expert users: http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=22_to_30 Everything is stored in MySQL, so backing up the database should be enough to safeguard your data. But I'm not the installation/upgrade expert, so you may need to go back to the mailing list for advice on how to prepare for a safe upgrade. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

...which means you should be able to quickly edit the template and update the year values. Look for circulation.tmpl in your template files (make sure you're editing the files that correspond to the template your Koha installation is using). You should see this HTML: <select name="year"> <option value="0">Year</option> <option value="2004"<!-- TMPL_IF NAME="year2004" --> selected="selected"<!-- /TMPL_IF -->>2004</option> <option value="2005"<!-- TMPL_IF NAME="year2005" --> selected="selected"<!-- /TMPL_IF -->>2005</option> <option value="2006"<!-- TMPL_IF NAME="year2006" --> selected="selected"<!-- /TMPL_IF -->>2006</option> <option value="2007"<!-- TMPL_IF NAME="year2007" --> selected="selected"<!-- /TMPL_IF -->>2007</option> <option value="2008"<!-- TMPL_IF NAME="year2008" --> selected="selected"<!-- /TMPL_IF -->>2008</option> </select> If you increment those years, you'll be good to go. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org
Thanks! I haven't figured it out yet because I'm not sure yet how to go "behind the scenes" in Koha without messing everything up, but maybe I will be able to get a tech person here to help since I know what we're looking for now. -----Original Message----- From: Owen Leonard [mailto:oleonard@myacpl.org] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 8:31 PM To: library@mountainviewics.org Cc: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: Re: [Koha] Do we need to upgrade?
