i'd successful add one item but when im trying to add another, i dont know how to get around it. it opens MARC BIBLIO screen and I'm forced to click the link ADD BIBLIO but it opens a perl script acqui.simple/addbiblio.pl. but the screen doesnt have the TITLE, SUBTITLE, AUTHOR to fill up, instead it has MARC BIBLIO title and has LIBRARY OF CONGRESS CONTROL NUMBER, INTERNATION STANDARD BOOK NUMBER etc. What Im expecting to to do is to key in TITLE, AUTHOR and other info related to the book. help me pleasse! thanks eric

Hi Eric What you want to do here is go to parameters/admin and then to system preferences. Then there is a setting MARC which will be set to on. Edit that, and set it to 0 (off). This doesnt turn MARC off, it just hides it behind the scenes. So it allows you to catalogue in an interface that is a little simpler. The data is still stored in MARC format in the database, as well as in the Koha format, but it just allows you to see a screen that says, Author title etc like you are expecting. Give it a whirl and let us know how you get on Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 027 4500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris@katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz
it worked! thanks chris! can u help me again?! how can i modify Koha's way of computing fines. Our library policies states that one has to bring the items s/he borrowed the following day on or before 9:am. failing to do so will incurred fine every hour (1 peso/hr).

Hi Eric You will need to write a script to do this, then run it as a cron job hourly. IE each hour a script runs that checks the overdues, and adds a fine to whoever should be getting one. Do you have much perl experience? Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 027 4500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris@katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz
zero! is it the fine2.pl that should be modify?

Ahh it will be a reasonable chunk of work. You could use fine2.pl as a base, but it will need to be a significantly different script to achieve what you are seeking. Do you have anyone with any perl experience that you know? If not, if you can describe the rules to me (are there any exceptions, ie staff dont get fines etc) I could have a crack at writing a script which should do what you want Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 027 4500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris@katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz
here's our policy: 1. all items borrowed should be returned on 9 am the following day. 2. borrowed items on friday and saturday should be returned on Monday @ 9 am. 3. all books returned after the deadline will be fined at 1 peso per hr delay 4. Working students have special consideration of returning the item, if returned the same day of the due date, it is considered returned on time. 5. Staff, employees and teaching personnel incurs no fine. 6. Maximum fine for a day is 10 pesos. chris, thanks in advance. im so greatful that you'll help me.
