Hi-

I'm trying out Koha to manage my personal book collection. I had problems getting 1.1.1 to work, so I downloaded a recent CVS snapshot and followed the instructions on the Wiki site. The revised instructions are good.

I've come across a few bugs here and there. Not doc shortcomings, but things that are actual bugs or "features". Should I post to the list, to the Slashdot site, or some other process?

Posting to sourceforge would be good thanks :)

Things I've found in CVS snapshot from May 1 2002:

- DB upgrade from earlier version (I love that!) updater/updatedatabase has an error in a column name. In table z3950queue, the column "numercords" should be "numrecords". It definitely doesn't work with the wrong column name... :-)

Ahh thanks, ill tidy this up.

- Simple acquisition module: marcimport.pl doesn't handle branches correctly. The pull-down list for home branch is hardcoded, which should come from the branches table. Worse, the holding branch doesn't even have a form field, it is hardcoded to 'STWE'

- Keyword search doesn't work in the simple acquisitions module on my database, because the "biblio" table is missing the "abstract" column. The abstract column exists in database.mysql from CVS, but doesn't appear to be added by updater/updatedatabase

Yep abstract is a new thing, and is still being worked on. (The danger of grabbing a cvs snapshot is it doesnt always contain complete code :) )

Let me know the best way to help in reporting things like this. Thanks!

I think either Sourceforge, or the koha-devel mailing list which you can join at sourceforge, might be the best places. Chris -- Chris Cormack Programmer 025 500 789 Katipo Communications Ltd chris@katipo.co.nz www.katipo.co.nz
