I've had no luck with the built in barcode generator. If you're using Linux you can try something like glabels. You can write a short script in Perl (or Ruby) that will find the fields you want and export them to a CSV file. In glabels you can create whatever custom templates you need. Then just feed the CSV file into glabels to print a batch. This is basically what I do. My Ruby copy cataloging script [1] can automatically output a CSV file as you go along which might make things easier. --Jason [1] http://zcc.rubyforge.org/zcc.html On 8/10/07, Anthony Manzo <manzo@salk.edu> wrote:

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to find a way to print out spine labels with our call number and a library card label with author,title and inventory code on this paper: http://www.librarysuppliers.com/user-cgi/display.cgi?id=197# I am the programmer working with our Librarian to roll out Koha and this is our last task before production!

We are using Koha version 2.2.7 and I have managed to get the barcode thing to work with PDF::API2.

I have read the faqs, docs, and this list and have found a few mentions of similar requests although I haven't found anything that works yet.

Does anyone know how to do this? I'd really like to avoid writing something from scratch as I am not a native perl coder.

Looking at the cgi-bin/barcodes folder there are several perl scripts besides the barcode related ones that suggest that it may be possible: cards.pl, label-manager.pl, label-home.pl, etc. However I can't find any docs on these scripts.

I recently tried the Barcode Generator, revision 1.00 from the Extensions Manager. It didn't work for me when I tried to go to the label manager my koha-error_log quacked about it not having a corresponding tmpl file (Which it did not!).

Thanks! Tony
